Thank you for the info. I have a grandaughter named Merritt after my daddy who was Merritt Frier (Ty) Albin. daddy was named Merritt P. Albin. I had done a lot of genealogy research many years ago, but it was all lost in Hurricane Katrina. Any info you can provide to me would be appreciated very much. I would like to know if the spelling of Albin has always been the same or if it was spelled Albion, Albyon, Alban, Albini or Elbin at some time or in some places.
