<DIV>Hey Les</DIV>
<DIV>How is the weather in Cottage Grove, it is turning white here in East
Portland and it is not snow, glad both my vehicles are 4x4.</DIV>
<DIV>My Cross's are also from the midwest Iowa down through Nebraska and my
wife has Cross's in her family from the same part of the country, have not put
the two together, YET.</DIV>
<DIV>They are all listed on my website for my family, or I should say the most
of them.</DIV>

<reedsportchapmans@verizon.net> <BR><BR>> Nancy; <BR>> <BR>>
I will try to remember to look, but suspect not, as I remember my main Cross
<BR>> connection is somewhere in the midwest, I actually have Crosses to
bear <BR>> [pardon the pun] in several places and lines, but the main one
I think must <BR>> be in my father's side. It will be really mind
boggling if I can link those <BR>> Crosses, my mother's Melvin ancsestors
and Glen's Cottage Grove Cross <BR>> connection [Oh Lord, forgive us our
puns this sabbath, please!] as my father <BR>> and I grew up in Cottage
Grove. <BR>> <BR>> I should be buried in autocad laying out parking
islands instead fo in her <BR>> doing this, but had my son updating some
stuff on the new computer so I <BR>> could do some email associated with
work. Hope to have time to pursue this <BR>> by end of the week. <BR>>
<BR>> Les C <BR>> <BR>> Les, <BR>> <BR>> I don't recall an
Ansil Melvin Cross in my Cross family, but that doesn't <BR>> mean he may
not be there.. <BR>> <BR>> I read where you mention you don't have
your family file up and running at <BR>> the moment, when it's up &
running maybe when you have time you could check <BR>> & see if any
part of your Cross family are from Dayton, Columbia Co., WA & <BR>>
Eugene/McKenzie Bridge/Blue River,Vida, Oregon area? <BR>> <BR>>
