It is very difficult to sort out records two or three hundred years or more. I was reading an article from Ancestory.com about the numbers of people who would need to be living in the days when my folks were around. Should be in the millions that are just my relatives. Turns out not true. If you have cousins marrying cousins, your numbers drop considerably. Here is the work of someone who has more information on the roots. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jeanmccarthy36/ I didn't ask permission to pass the url on so I hope it is okay or at least passable. Word of caution on Notes and Queries from Engle. They aren't entirely accurate. I have several family mentions and some of the burials dates aren't accurate with the church burial records. My gggrandfather's was off by ten years. Lastly, could people please clean off the bottoms of your replies and change the subject words? I get the digest and some run to 15-20 pages. Uses bandwidth to send. Thanks for the opportunity to stick in my two cents. Jo Ann Baxley
