There are several common names between the two families, Henry/Henry, William/Willie, Morgan Asbury/Asbury... but of course that is just what it is...nothing more, nothing less. I'm new to the genealogy hobby (addiction ?) Thanks again for your time & patience....any help/encourgement with this is greatly appreciated.....thanks Rick ==== SCROOTS Mailing List ==== Go To: #, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z, Main |
