Thank you, Gary, I appreciate this very much. I think there may be more to this somewhere, there was also a French Coiner who was living in 1980 I believe. I am very glad to know how this goes. You havn't let me know if you got the George Adam Coiner will, Gary. I tried to reach Katie, our Rev. Spindler researcher and her mail bounced. She has Hemp in her family list, Gary. That was the spelling for Adam Hawp. Katie, where are you? Norma GRH9999@aol.com wrote: > > >I wanted you all to see this.
