Sorry, my mail was down for a bit yesterday and this never went through. But
thanks again! I at least know who to call now, and where to visit next time
I get back to Texas.

I appreciate the link Brownie. I have written the local person there seeking
help for locating records for these Brandons. I have seen the cemetery name
on findagrave, but they only had a few records in and no one has written me
back from there yet.

I thank you for your quick-finding skill!

Diane
