I am having difficulty finding information on my wife's family. We know that her gg-grandfather was born in TX in May of 1870. I'm hoping that he was born before the census was taken. He could be listed as: Buddie (or alternate spelling, such as Buddy--legal first name) Reece (or alternate spelling, such as Reese--believed that he went by Reece) B.R. (buried as B.R. Gray) Thanks! --- Randy Ritchie Shawnee Mission, KS Researching the Brand, Edwards, Gray, Ray, Ritchie, Royer and Troncoso families _____________________________________________________________ Get 25MB, POP3, Spam Filtering with LYCOS MAIL PLUS for $19.95/year. http://login.mail.lycos.com/brandPage.shtml?pageId=plus&ref=lmtplus
