Thanks to you I now have several new surnames to research. If you have this on your computer could you please send me all the direct ancestors of Adam Wilhite in GED or FTW format it would save me some rekeying of what you have obviously been working on for some time (i.e. Broyles, Walke, Mueller, etc.). I am posting your response to the Cate and Wilhite lists. I have received several direct queries about the Wilhite/Cate ancestry, it seems this is fairly new info. Thanks again, David Phelps [email protected] 14628 Waterview Circle Addison, Texas 75244 --------------A6932294D74FBD08466C69C5 Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Received: from icx.net [206.96.250.2] by in3.ibm.net id 901112764.93202-1 ; Wed, 22 Jul 1998 13:06:04 +0000 Received: from default (pm15b.icx.net [207.51.10.130]) by icx.net (IDG-2.7/1.3) with SMTP id JAA00929; Wed, 22 Jul 1998 09:06:01 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <[email protected]> Date: Wed, 22 Jul 1998 09:04:31 -0400 From: "John K.
