Hi Barbara, It was good to hear from you, and to know that the list is still alive, and kicking. My middle name is Faye, and I assume yours is Ann. Have you ever heard anyone trying to sing Ba-Ba-Ba, Ba-Bar-bara Faye? Don't feel bad about not knowing the parents of Thomas who married Grace Swaim. It seems no one knows, I have written to a number of people with no clues. I think if we can find his parents, this will lead to tumbling the brick wall for many. I am sure the census study you are doing, will be a tremendous help, and hopefully everyone will pitch in, if they can. I look forward to comparing notes with you when you get a chance. You asked about pictures, if you are talking about oldies, I might can dig up a few pictures from some relatives. My dad has one of his grandfather, Solomon DeWalt Vestal, grandson of Thomas Vestal and Grace Swaim. I am not sure what else he has, but my great uncles should have some family pictures. My Vestal family is from, and still live in the area of their birth place in North Carolina. Thanks again, Barbara Vestal Byrd
