Good morning from Minnesota on a rather chilly morning- Thank you for answering my plea for info on Thomas (all of them). If it has taken you over ten years to get them where they belong, its no wonder I have been on the verge of losing my mind. Every time I look I come up with something new and different. I have got to learn more patience-Well I've got company coming for the weekend so I better get busy. Thanks again-Carol Wyndell Taylor wrote: > > At 04:56 PM 11/15/02 -0600, you wrote: > > Hi everybody--I have another poser for you before I lose my mind--I am > trying to find out which Thomas Wynne and wife belong to William WYNNE Sr. > and Frances also which Thomas belongs to him.
