Marilee, Well hello cousin, where have you been. You have just hit the jackpot and saved me alot of runaround. My mother-in-law said that she thought that Alex would be the ancestor. She's got that whole gut feeling thing going. Would you happen to have any documents verifying this information, i.e. marriage or birth certificates? If so, could you please attach? You have no idea what a lifesaver you are. Now, it is safe to say that this is the George Wikle from Augusta, do you have anything prior to him? I did check Augusta County Census and found 2 Weikles but the records would not open. I will keep digging and see what I can scrounge up. thanx so much crystal
