Hello Chester, just answered one email and then I have anotherinteresting one from you. Thanks, and I would like to see what W. Bput together on Coalfield history. I also really enjoyed the clubvisit. As a military brat, my family traveleveled a lot. Both of myparents were born in Illinois, and I was born in the same E. St. Louishospital as my Mom, but my Dad reenlisted in the Air Force six monthslater. So I lived in six states, and England and France for threeyears each, beforore I graduated from my third high school. I had nosense of family history or family roots, especially on my Dad's side.So sitting in a room of folks, most of whom I think I may be relatedto, way back, is kid of fun. Finding some of this tragic familyhistory is fascinating to me as my personal history could very easilyhave added another chapter of the same stuff. But I have always beenthe eternal optomist and I will admit that I been one of the fortunatepeople in life. Most of my cllose friends would agree, and I have oftenleft them shaking their heads and chuckling. For some weird reason,bad events twist around and slide by me in odd ways. I have hadanxious moments tho, as I have duly tried and often challenged myguardiaian angel to find my limits, often on a dare and mostly for fun.My oldest, best buddy calls me the luckiest SOB that he knows and Itell him someone's got to be lucky in life, if that's my fate, I canlive with it. He says he wouldn't mind some of this luck, but hewouldn't want the scrapes I seemed to find, so I needed it more thanhim. We joke a bunch. After this recent liver transplant, I believethat I have been blessed in this life, graced with a second chance,and just want to now focus on getting my ten year old son raised pastthe mischeift I ran into after my Dad died when I was 16. Learningfrom our family history, I believe the orphaned sons from the threeimmediate Liles generations before me probably encountered the sameproblems. I intend to break the chain for my son. Or at leastforewarn him. WB had earlier alerted me to look for Abner Clint andMajor Lindsay. I think I will add Newton, another possible sibling,to this list in order to trace the original Robert Liles' 300 acres.Have you or your friend looked at the Major's military records? Theremight be some clues there. I have figured out that we are 5th cousinsand our nearest common ancestor is Robert Liles. The nearest commonancestor I share with WB is John Henry Sr. and WB links to me throughmy father as they are 2nd cousins. Which would make WB my 2nd cousinonce removed (one generation) and Jennette and I would be 3rd cousins.As such, WB and you dad would be 4th cousins, so you are his 4thcousin, once removed and a 5th cousin also to Jennette. I'll writedown my calculations and you can check them over too.

Chester I think I should have put this in a word document because itwill probably scatter all over the page when you receive it, but it isall lined up on my screen now. You should get the idea though. Iestimate there are four more generations of Liles ahead of Robert inNorth America, so an 11th cousin would put us back a couple ofgenerations in England. My goal is to find all my immigrants, whichmay be impossible. So far I have only documented two German families.1859 and 1738. Guess I've taken up enough of your time. Catch youlater cousin.
