thank you for your reply. Now I am seeing that there are several King/Koenig lines in Preston County. Do you have any idea of his ancestors or if he had siblings? Best wishes Beverly Railey Walter

Hi Susan, I had problems sending out a map of Fayette County that I offered to send persons who wanted it. An old map. Anyway some of them didn't come out clear enough or they couldn't bring it up on the computer. Anyway, I ask them the send me a self address stamped envelope and I would sent them a clearer map. And I went to a local Ace Hardware and made copies at 5 cents each and when I got there SASE I sent it to them. A lot of the servers don't have enough memory to download larger files, pictures or maps. It was a little more work for me, but I made a lot of people happy that they got a copy of the map. I have America on Line which will take the bigger files, but other services don't. You could break it down into smaller emails but that would be an lot of work for you. Delores in CA
