I have started printing things out so I can read, organize, and re-read. I haven't had this much fun in years! I've read, but still haven't absorbed, the emails you sent. Lots of food for thought. Counterfeiting, eh? I spent my career in the printing/ advertising/typesetting industry, maybe I had a natural proclivity! At this point in life I think counterfeiting is probably a more honorable field than advertising. I can't afford the software or associations for in-depth research either. Two of the Lawsons, two of the Gilberts, Two of the Murrells, a Brown and a Cobb were in the CSA infantry first and the USA calvary later...one may have been in the USA infantry. They were related by blood, marriage or friendship. I wonder if they were pressed into service by the Confederacy? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
