Stan, in my Family Tree Maker database it shows that Bertha Claudine Melton Arney and Donald Herman Garrett were 3rd cousins three times removed and 3rd cousins four times removed. By the way, which Arney did your grandmother marry, and what is your father's name, and who was your grandfather Arney's father and mother?

Brenda, Do you have a Bertha Zachary, b. 1884 married to a John Smith? If so, do you know if it is John Matt Smith, b. 1883 the son of Jonathan Lune Smith and Hester Scarborough? And if so, what else do you have on either? And Merry Christmas!
