It was strange to find this e-mail in my box, since I was the author (over
two years ago) of the original message regarding CHRIST and BROCIOUS. I
somehow got dropped off the list for awhile and never received the responses
that were apparently sent to me. Anyway, the Christs for which I am looking
are just Jefferson County residents, so far as I know. My family lives in
Brookville and the surrounding areas. My BROCIOUS family is from the
Ringgold area. My grandmother's parents were Henry and Alice Brocious. If
anyone has any information on any of these people, I'd love to have it!

Janet,
It's been awhile since I received the following in my inbox, but I am
currently cleaning out all my old mail and came across this. I am wondering
if you could look in your Berks County church records for the surname of
SOWERS. I can't seem to find where my SOWERS line came to Jefferson county.
I just have my great great grandfather's, Benjamin SOWERS birth year-1803
and that he came from another county from the east. Could you check this
surname for me and let me know what SOWERS names you can find? I have a
Benjamin and Jonas and a Henry but can't seem to connect them. Thanks so
much
Nancy Alexander
