Just found this post today. I do believe it is the most interesting post I have read here. What a wonderful quilt top you have. I thought to print out the names you provided, and check them out on ancestery, but I see achancy has beat me to it. What a great job she is doing! It surely is time consuming. She is to be comended for all her work. I am so glad you are getting so many leads to the names on your quilt top. I will be following this thread..... Do you plan to finish the quilt? I'm not sure what I would do if it were mine. I am so glad it fell into your hands.
