Hi, How wonderful to find a cousin! Yes, would love any information on the Houseman's and also the Givens! My ancestorial chart was almost filled...but, nothing on William Ross and Margaret Kessler. Do you know anything about the Black family? Am told this line goes back to Royality! (along with several other family members)... Glad to hear from you look forward to your email. Plan a trip to West Va. perhaps shortly, want to search a few grave yards. I live in the desert region of (east) San Diego, Ca. where are you? Jackie Downen jjd@uia.net
