AliceMae,I do know how you feel,I know the birth date of my husband's grandfather,but there are no official records of his birth.His death certificate doesn't list any info we didn't alread know.We know his father was Taylor Steele,also how many children he had and who he was married to,The grandfather was born in 1880,but as to Taylor,no luck.I know they were in Va,which could have been Ohio,Kentucky,anywhere.Have you tried the state vitals?I will have my fax machine hooked up soon,I hope,we're remodeling and when you work,too,things don't go as fast as you want.If you have a Taylor or Charles,the oe born in 1880,please let me know.I'll try to help you as much as I can.It is rough being in Canada,especially when the Steeles seem to enjoy hiding anyways. Thanks for replying.Let me know if I can help.Patt Steele http://community.webtv.net/coolPatt/Yesterdaysflowers

It is funny you saying that you are remodeling. That is what I have been doing since the middle of May. Which is why I am having problems locating all of my info easily. It is here in what is now being used as my office. But papers are stacked, hung, and buried. At the present time I don't have a Taylor, which means nothing since I do not have any names past Silas. No siblings, aunts, uncles, nothings except those infuriating names John Steele and Elizabeth Lair. Va to OH. But if we all are working on breaking through this wall, we just might help someone make some headway. Let me know when the fax is hooked up and I will send my stuff to you. Or when I manage to locate the right cable for my scanner I can email it. Whichever one comes first. <grin> Talk to you later, Alicemae ----- Original Message ----- From: "Patt Steele" <coolPatt@webtv.net> To: <STEELE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2001 8:20 PM Subject: Re: [STEELE] John Steele descendants (of Caldwell Co., S.C.andPerry Co., ILL > AliceMae,I do know how you feel,I know the birth date of my husband's > grandfather,but there are no official records of his birth.His death > certificate doesn't list any info we didn't alread know.We know his > father was Taylor Steele,also how many children he had and who he was > married to,The grandfather was born in 1880,but as to Taylor,no luck.I > know they were in Va,which could have been Ohio,Kentucky,anywhere.Have > you tried the state vitals?I will have my fax machine hooked up soon,I > hope,we're remodeling and when you work,too,things don't go as fast as > you want.If you have a Taylor or Charles,the oe born in 1880,please let > me know.I'll try to help you as much as I can.It is rough being in > Canada,especially when the Steeles seem to enjoy hiding anyways.
