Here about a month or so ago, my computer crashed, not once, but twice and ended up having to get another one. I managed to restore all my files, but yours. I had all, I thought, backed up, but your file was blank. It went off into LaLa land somewhere. I am still trying to connect the Wilkerson and Wilkinson line. Could I ask you a big favor, would you send you file again so I can import it into my data base. We are related so many ways, I have referred to your files many times. With my newer computer I have plenty of space now, and I am adding to my files daily and backing up daily. Have you had any success in finding anything on your Nathan Davis? >> Jean, WELCOME BACK! I am doing fine ! Using a computer is always a gamble ! Ha! You never want to put into one any information u cant afford to loose. I use AOL and they have a neat (for them) trick in that you cannot print your 'favorite places' so you alwas loose them if you change services. Almost the same thing with addresses, so its always a good idea to copy and email to yourself any favorite places you want 'later' I have found that you can print your address book. AOL tells you that you can carry these forward to upgrades but I lost both addresses and favorite places when upgrading from 3 to 4. Enough about my troubles. In a seperate email I have sent you my davis.ged Please let me know if it transfers ok. I have a question. In my mind I have you located in Sardis, MS.Is that so ? If it is so, you are located 'right in the middle' of many of your ancestors and descendants, and I will be glad to guide you. About Nathan-I have a real good lead on him back to the Newberry County SC area, which is a real breakthru for me. Evidently, Martha O. Fowler, who is buried in the Wesley Chapel cemetery in Lauderdale, AL is Martha Odell Duckett Fowler who is Levi Fowler's widow (and Nathans mother-in-law) from Newberry Co., SC. SC has rather good records so I have my work cut out for me. L&S, Bob Davis Vancouver, WA
