Donna, Thank you so much for the work you completed on my behalf. The Horace Walter Turner in your first para seems to be that of my grandfather. I have already started my search to find additional information on that side of my family and have already located a lead on his children, my new Aunts and uncles. Again, Your help was so very much appreciated. Greg Rogers Tuolumne, CA Donna@MBS" <mbs@inland.net> wrote: Okay, here are a couple DCs that might be of interest on this.
