I quite agree with Pam. I too have many Stones, most with the names Edward, John, William, George, Robert, Alice, Elizabeth, Margaret etc etc ... one of mine even married a Mathe(w)son (my great-grandparents), but the vast majority of mine are connected to Nova Scotia, Canada and England ... not in the USA. It certainly would help a great deal, following Pam's suggestions, re: subject line. Many thanks, to those who follow this suggestion.
