Kathy, Please send instructions on how to include an inquiry regarding those "long lost relatives" before the 29th since I have not yet joined the genealogical society. Also, I received a message from Nancy in CA who picked up my inquiry. She states that there is a book in the archives called "The Gallaher Clan" by Shirley Hollis Rice. It lists Flippos, Skillerns, and Christians. I have most of the Flippo and Skillern information but there is among the Christians she listed , a John. I would be interested to know if this line of Christians is ours. The names listed are not some I am familiar with but of course it seems every Christian family had a Charles and a William and a John. Thanks again. Linda Christian
