Thank you very much for your reply. I can see you enjoy your work!! I am curious to know more about these families, especially the given names of the people you've mentioned in the Davis, Ryan and Owen families.

My father, Robert Owen, is traveling back to Michigan in May to see his family, and I know he would love to learn as much as possible about the history, etc., of his ancestors, and the plaecs they lived.

I am amazed to have discovered a person who knows about the Ryan farm, as I have recently heard a similar story from another person. May I ask your email address? If need be, may I pass it on to my dad? You've been very helpful and I appreciate the info on the resources. You do sound busy, from reading all your other posts...Thanks again!!!!

Sincerely,

Cynthia Owen-Gaines
