<DIV><FONT face=Arial>FWIW: My maternal grandmother's brother, Earnest
Andeson, was not given a middle name at birth. So when somebody insisted
that he had to have at least a middle initial (probably Social Security), he
said, "F." "F" as in Fern; his wife. (I still don't know her maiden
name.) If they ever had any children it could have been Clarence Anderson;
Fern often called me by that name, but would correct herself.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Earnie and Fern are long gone. So this is a brick
wall. :-(</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>(a recap) My maternal grandfather, Cecil Clark
Rulaford's father was born Edgar McMullin (or some variation of that
spelling). He became George A. Rulaford, and married my gr grandmother,
Martha Jane Ford in 1880. All of the Rulafords are gone now, and we may
never know the truth. (see my web page menu in my footer)</FONT></DIV>
