LaRae, Thanks for the insight. I have a letter going out for Geraldine's birth certificate in tomorrow's snail mail. Would I still address the letter to Gray Co? Probably not, huh, maybe I should check out Wheeler Co. as well. My this family is so confusing, most I think were in the Witness Protection Program!! (ha ha) Thanks again!
