<DIV><SPAN class=218210302-11042009><FONT face=Arial size=2>I can sure
understand about looking at the neighbors. In essence I am going to pursue
Williams origins some more because we still have lots of unsolved mysteries.
Anytime I see a line of interest to me that goes back to Pensylvania or New York
my ears perk up. Or even if I see the migration pattern Dale mentioned, except
there is a fluke there, almost none of my folks went south so the North Carolina
reference is unusual, but Ohio, Indiniana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and
Missouri all crop up in so many of my family lines and their spouses it drives
me nuts. I will be blithely plugging Vital records in to a file from some index
and suddenly realize I am adding them to the wrong family line and go to the
right one and find I already have them. Often when that happens to me I discover
the information isn't in my family file for exactly the same reason I was
putting it in the wrong folder. I found this line's info while deeply buried in
THAT one and for a change I just quick like dropped the info in a resource file
and continued with THAT family instead of haring off on this one and
ending up three families and four states away.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

trains don't forget I am still looking for the train my great grandfather Milan
Morell Melvin and kin came out on. There is supposed to be a Mrs. Barnes who
nursed him through something, small pox maybe? and that is why one of my great
Uncle's was Albert Barnes Melvin.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>HQ had a book titled Llewellyn, 24 pages of trees, but
it wasn't loading right, with lot's of Wms - might have something if you're
going further back then your Wm. & Eva.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I went back to the HQ reference you sent me on Peter
Lightle and read further on into the biographies. A lot of those people were
of German descent with the VA/PA emigration placement. It just might help
narrow the towns & counties down. They tell us to look at the neighbors
since they often moved around and resettled in the same areas together. If the
front door doesn't work try the back door!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Still haven't got the Wagon train roster
either but have a little more to go on - Paper-Trails - was a goose-egg. I
hope they are still adding to their files.</FONT></DIV>
