Thank you for your most welcomed query re your Clark fam. that you seek. I know the feeling you have for wanting to know more. I have been exceedingly fortunate to have had "excellent luck" with my endeavors in genealogy since 1983 when I began. That is because my Lines left a lot of "paper traces" on my Clark, & related branches. However, my SCOTT (maternal Line) is more like yours. I haven't much info to go on and they didn't tend to leave "paper trails". BUT, one thing I know - "They Want to Be Found" a phrase I coined from my fortunate experiences in gen. hunting. Play the Clues and I did before getting a computer - but getting one has made the communications much more convenient, and rapid. I must say that I have looked at your information carefully, and I cannot find anything that might tie with any of the Clarks I have researched since 1983. I checked a History of Skagit and Snohomish Counties by Whitfield because I knew of a Clark Fam. that lived here in Snohomish City, but I've never been able to find that I tie with that family and they disappeared from here many yrs ago but I read their biog. sketch for clues. The head of that Clark was a William Clark, but nothing I could find related to yours, or mine. Anna's Clark Fam. is a branch of mine, newly found, via the great rootsweb system with its cyber trails-she found me via the rootsweb trails that I left to be found, and it worked well. I just heard from another of our relatives who came upon a bulletin such as this and he contated me - a real joy to be surprised via e-mail like that. I will keep your information for future ref so that if I do see any possible tie I can contact you. I have found that my Clark Line(s) tended to take residence in Northern states, mostly, as I have found very sparse of my Clarks who knowingly resided in Southern states. I don't take this for granted, however. Thank you again for your query with a sense of "plead" and I know that feeling - my Scotts, especially! Never give up, play the Clues as best you can - keep picking away at any possible sources, as it does pay to do so. Always include as much as you can re names, dates, and places as this helps. PS It is great to see you interested in genealogy - we need you! You are young and persons like you can keep gen. alive and well so that: THEY WANT TO BE FOUND -- and they will be !!! TIME is of the essence - LOL!!! Best Regards, Carroll (male) in Snohomish WA since 1924 ! [email protected] * * * 30 * * * ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nellie M.
