THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!!!

You had no idea when you posted this that it would be so important to
someone. This is a prime example of just a tidbit-far-fetched piece of
history being a bonanza for someone else.

Well, that is the case here!! The information you sent from the clipping
fills in the only gap in the my main, direct family line.

I have it all the way back to the 600's but Bryan,III 's family was the only
one incomplete.

I owe you big time!!

I hope it is ok with the list but I just included a couple of the
generations here to show you what I mean. I am descended from Rebecca but I
hadn't found anymore on or brother Bryan, III.

Thanks again!
