I was in Alpine in January for 3 weeks at my brother's, enjoyed ever minute of it with him, got some pictures of families, and found alot of info at the Christ Church Presbyterian in Alpine where my daddy and grandparents were members. Was very hard to leave. I will be back again the first of April. I will have to get to the Fentress Library. Will be easier this time for I will have my own vehicle. I will have to check out Bruce's site. That's really nice he put it on. Thank you for your help.
