My pc fried around the time of your reply and just found your reply to F. S. Norvell m. Vinita Newby 1899 Bosque Co., TX.

I want to thank you so much for all the information that you posted about Fidelia Sharp Norvell(e) and his family. I didn't know he was a male and have just assumed female. My original post for the marriage was just hopefull.

I also note in the death index that the name is spelled Norvelle with the added E on the end. One of Fidelia's brothers Landon Saunders Norvell was also living in Alameda County California when he died.

Thanks again,
Renee Smelley
