Gervaise:
Have a great, fun trip to Italy! (I know you, nor I!, are planning to
"die" before our time! You know the saying, "From my lips to God's ears"!
<Grin> )
Could you tell me if you have MUCH MORE back from our William Wynn Sr. &
Elizabeth ECHOLS...? I think I may have an email or two around here from
you from a few mos. ago, that gives some info back that far (which I have
suspected WM. WYNN & ELIZ.ECHOLS were our ancestors for some years now....,
but it sure helps to have the 'proof' thru newspapers, etc.) --- but if you
have much farther back on either of those lines, could you bring me up to
date, just real BRIEFLY, like names and places, if known? Otherwise, I
will assume that perhaps I have most of the basics of the families, which
just need more in depth research.
thanks alot!
Thanks for all your hard work and efforts over the years!
Best,
TINA/CA List Mgr.
