Kathryn, You and Cindy have provided me with so much information I don't know what to start. I have my RUSS ancestry traced back to England in 1458, but it is this type of information I can use to document their lives and verify information as I continue my research. Many thanks to you both for your support. This has been the most helpful and friendly mailing list I've visited to date. Tennessians are just wonderful people! I'll still be researching in this area for some time, so I look forward to seeing you on the list real soon. Once again THANKS for all your help! My deepest thanks!
