Dale: did you say "Brick Wall?...7 years?" Try 30! I haven't found the right John Shaw yet. But I'm still looking. And the internet is definitely making things easier. Mine was in New York in 1800--I think. If you come across him and his wife, Persis, please contact me. I'll do the same for you if I find any Georgia Shaws. Actually, now that I think of it there are a lot of Arkansas Shaws who have migrated west from Georgia. There's even a book of the Shaw Family in Arkansas. Try looking there. rarecoins1@webtv.net wrote: > Hello Family! :-) > I'm hoping you may be able either to help me or tell me of a SHAW family > researcher with data > similar to mine.
