Hi Blue Eyed Mystic Princess, You didn't give much info regarding your grandfather Earl Wells. But it might help if you gave his birth date, place of birth, death date, place of death, marriage date & date. The more info the better. Also, I haven't any idea how long you've been searching for your family, but when I first started I found it most helpful to all my future searching to have started with my own immediate family. I procured some family group sheets, filled one out for myself and my wife, one for her parents (including her brother and sister), one for my parents (including my 3 sisters), one for each of our siblings, their husbands/wives and their families, and then I worked up family group sheets for our aunts and uncles and their families.... Pretty soon I had recorded all the info for the grandparents (mine and my wife's), and all their children and grandchildren and great grandchildren. Plus one Family Bible that went back another generation. Just thinking it might help to start with your own family.... Good Luck in your Kin Search. Tom E.
