Hi Gordon,
Thanks for your reply. I am trying to start with William Gifford of
Sandwich, MA (1615-1687) and work my way forward in time to our William
Gifford (abt 1756-August 15, 1846). I have had no real success trying to
go backward in time to our William Gifford (abt 1756-Aug. 15, 1846).
Incidently, I found that the mysterious "Aunt Netta of Tulsa" was the
wife of Randolph Shirk (son of Charles C. Shirk).
Best regards,
David
