I have just worked on this line today (20hrs!). I'm hoping
these BEARDS connect to a line BEARDS in my family. Ms.
Linda Wilkowski Myers contacted me by phone to give me most
of this BEARD info. she and her father did.

 I have more info, but I am still trying to sort out a few
things. Seems these lines keep crossing, generation, after
generation.



Do you think this is your line? Hope so. Could use some
help! <>
