Just a note to everyone. It makes your messages much easier to read if you put SURNAME's in CAPITAL letters. This is the accepted practice for Net messages concerning genealogy. Also, in the Subject: header, identify persons you are researching. Subjects such as "Surname Search", "Looking for Ancestors", etc. just don't help very much, whereas Subjects such as "SMITH, James C. >VA-1782>TN-1815" or "SMITH, JONES, & BROWN >VA & TN", etc., are very helpful.
