She called it Big S____ Gap. She didn't mention where she was from also. WHY? So many people left there because of this very problem. Any ideas?

He told my step mother he was born in Richmond. She had a copy of his birth certificate which plainly gave the residence of the parents and doctor as Wise County. I guess she just didn't look close enough. He had a huge ego and I am sure, once he got away from there and into the world, that he was ashamed to tell people where he was from. ==== VAWISE Mailing List ==== Please post your family lines to the list perodically, so that newcomers know who is on the list.
