Hi Mike!

Bingo! You said the magic word!!! My grandfather worked in a coal mine in Windsor Heights, West Virginia, which is above Wheeling! My father also worked there with his father when he was about 12 years old until he was about 20-21. That fits one peice of the puzzle into place! Are any of your relatives still living in the area? This information ties your ancestor into my listing all right! THey were obviously very good friends for my grandfather to have him present at his son's christening! That was a great honor for any man or woman to have bestowed upon them by any friend!

So we are connected through a common thread of friendship between our grandfather's or my grandfather & your great grandfather Mike! Small world!
