This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: McCarty, Steele Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/YdJBAIB/1848.1.1 Message Board Post: That is great news! I am so glad this information is of help. I know what kind of a brick wall you can run into with these genealogy puzzles. I will say that my step grandfather's book is so helpful. He was a very meticulous man. He will never know how many people he has helped by publishing his research. Have you gone to the McCarty message board and done a search for "Steele". I noticed a few people you might get in contact with that are also interested in your branch of the family. I can't find the name of the researcher that I heard from that was researching the Steele family, or I would send it to you. Take care! http://members.aol.com/_ht_a/ddhamm/McCarty/
