The name was in some family records that I have at home. I new the name of Alexander long before I new of Barry Sweetman. It came also from The Blaisdell papers and a woman that does geneology for them. She is the first that told me that I was not a true Blasdell because of Alfred taking his stepfathers name. It is an interesting puzzle at the very least and I appreciate all your help.
