Tina, it sounds like you are making some progress in the Shuman line. I don't remember all the sources I got my information of the Shuman line from but have a good bit of it. Again, mine are from Pa. & W.VA. if you ever need any of them. keep my e-mail handy ptabor@citlink.net. Good luck & if I find any of your names in mine I will let you know.
