I think that things like that are what keep us in this hobby. When we break those brick walls and unussual occurancies it is such a thrill but in the meantime it is sooo frustrating. Just never give up and check more than what you were told.

Lena,

When my husband entered the army he sent for a copy of his birth
certificate. They couldn't find it because they read the name of the father
wrong. They saw it as James Chester Reeves not James Cleatus Reeves. The
county line was down the middle of the road, he was born on one side and
thought he was born on the other.

It's no wonder we have a hard time with genealogy. I've learned to check the
counties next door.
