Author: AmandaSpackman Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.shaw/6711.1.1.1.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I kind of think that they really weren't born in Missouri. I really didn't think about that. Thanks for pointing that out. I really feel that Frank was probably born in Illinois or Iowa. And that Christopher was born in Weir. Most of my Shaw living relatives live in Weir or were born in Weir. All of my G Grandpa & Grandma Shaw's children were born there, my grandpa included. But that hasn't been much help because all of the cousins are just as stumped as I am. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
