This would be a big hoot/belly laugh if it wasn't so sad. Nationality__some of us would just be thrilled to back them out of MS and Alabama! I would guess a large percentage of the folks on this list have no clue of Nationality. How many are like me hunting John SHAW or a James E. "Jim" SHAW. I can say "lets work SHAW's" cousins disappear for weeks. My daughters eyes roll into the back of her head. She ask what hundredth time will this be? Migraines develope along with tempers, including my own. :) If we ever get a break we wonder will the next court house have burned too? So first we would love to just find "Papa SHAW"!!!!!!! We are hunting James E. "Jim" SHAW b. abt 1829 Shelby County, Alabama married to Eliza Jane McELVANY b. 1862 Choctaw County MS. Thanks for the giggle. If we ever get a break it will be a "great dance"! Vickye White 3477 N.
