John, Missed you at the Wise Co. History Day Saturday. They had a very interesting week of presentations and book vendors, etc. on Sat. Although they told me that attendance was down a little, it was a nice event. The URL for the Historical website Betty told you about is: http://www.mounet.com/~echo/ppp.htm The CD there contains many, many sur-names (including your Wallen and Porter lines). Enjoy the free timeline on the site. Danny
