Hi Folks, We've had a lot of new subscribers lately and very little message traffic. I thought I better write something or else they'll think it's a dead list. I've only got a couple of news items, first, I organized a Sloan-Slone Webring, check out: http://www.panama.phoenix.net/~fmitchel/welcome.html#WebRing So, If you have a Sloan/Slone related website and want to join the ring, DO IT!! Also, Rootsweb has consolidated some of their surname features, take a look at: http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/s/l/SLOAN/ At one time I talked about Sloan links to the Rich and Famous and how I had NEVER found any. Well, I finally found some in my own line! The descendants of Ellis Sloan (1819-1896) & Permelia Green Freeman of Ga./Ar. can now claim "cousinship" to Presidents Jimmy Carter, William Henry Harrison and James K. Polk. Of cource all this comes from the Freeman/Pope/Carter/Winslow branches. There is another R&F link, Thomas Henry Sloan (1844-aft 1880) and Missoui Jane Woolsey of Edmondson Co. KY. This Woolsey line can be traced back to Royality of Europe which can link you to everything from Odin to QEII, and a bunch of presidents. Has anyone else found any Sloan links to the Rich & Famous???
