THANKS FOR REPLY RE:RUSSELL WREN,UNFORTUNATELY I DON'T HAVE MUCH INFORMATION AS TO R.WRE(N).MY MOTHER HAD GIVEN ME THE NAME RUSSELL WREN AS THE NAME OF MY FATHER'S NATURAL FATHER.
PERHAPS THE TIDEWATER CONNECTION MAY BE THE WAY TO GO.iF HIS NAME IS RIGHT (RUSSELL), THEN HE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN VIRGINIA AROUND 1943-1945, BUT MY INFORMATION IS THAT HE TRAVELED AROUND A BIT AND HAD A SON WITH A MABEL DOW.i'M NOT TOO FAMILIAR WITH THE GEOGRAPHY OF VIRGINIA.I THINK MAYBE MY FATHER WAS BORN IN APPOMATTOX OR EMPORIA.iS THIS ANY WHERE NEAR LANCASTER OR FOR THAT MATTER TIDEWATER. OR DO YOU KNOW OF ANY OTHER WREN(N) FAMILIES IN ABUNDANCE ANY WHERE ELSE? I DO KNOW THAT HE MAY HAVE BEEN A TRAVELING SALESMAN. I KNEW IT WAS A SLIM CHANCE BUT I HAD TO TRY,I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT MY FATHER'S SIDE OF THE FAMILY.MY FATHERS NAME IS WILLIAM EUGENE DOW. HE WAS BORN IN AND RAISED IN HIS AUNT KATIE GAY(GAY IS MAIDEN NAME) THATS ALL I KNOW AND THE DETAILS ARE STILL KIND OF SKETCHY ANY THHOUGH I DO APPRECIATE YOUR HELP. -KIRT
