Samuel Stevenson Early Settler

edmondsallan - Good morning . I haven't opened this section of the holding file for a while . I see quite a lot of it is classified as
# proven 95 % /Russell area / part of family only / dated 1996. # Thats interesting . I think we'll take a look. Also has a note about the name spelling . We had had better sort out the name Question first .

The name seems to have been used & spelt - ( 2 ) different ways for the same person /family . Hargraves and Hargreaves . Thats completely different . How could any mix up occur with that . Hang on folks , I have to go to my " Old Faithful" other computer & see what I was doing back then ~~~~~~~~~~ Ok - problem ? I will have to sort this out further. Many " LDS " spelling of the two different families , has been mixed up . I'll need to unfold their mistakes .

I had " Hargraves " name down for the Tile . I'll change it to another . " Samuel Stevenson " do a short burst on that family. sort out the " Hargraves " Problem within the ( LDS ) records . Right O'
" Stevenson " coming up .
