Hi all, I'm stil alive. I'm not so sure that I'd say I' kicking, but our soon to be new Spence descendant certainly is. I fell a few weeks back and cracked some ribs, just as I was starting to get to that part of pregnancy where you feel wonderful all the time and the nausea is gone. Oh well. The best news is that our new cousin is doing fine and didn't seem to feel a thing. We should be hearing from him/her in early March and I'll be sure to let you all know whether we have a boy or a girl. I just say, as long as it's not a lizrd, I'll be happy <g>. I'm heading over to the Family History Library Tonight. Maybe I could start trying to figure out who Jane Bluford's parents are. I'm pretty sure she's in the IGI although I'm almost certain there are no parents listed. Any hints or suggestions as to where I should look? Was she from AUgusta County? The FHL has a handful of early Augusta County records I could scour. Let me know of any leadds before 4 pm MST and I'll follow up on them tonight. Thanks for keeping an eye out for me. I'll let you all know what I find. Alana Kimbel Considine *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Marc & Alana Considine Bee's Wing Books <beeswing@inconnect.com> http://www.inconnect.com/~beeswing
