Thank you very much. I, too, am looking for people who are serious about collaborating in an effort that, it seems to me, should give everyone the best of both worlds: more results and more accurate information.

Even though my family tree is private, I will share whatever information I have on your great, great grandfather Charles Edwards [who, coincidentally, is also my daughter's great, great grandfather on her father's side]. Another pair of eyes will certainly help me in determining whether the information I am coming across is indeed relevant to Charles Edwards and his descendants.

Despite my tree here on Ancestry.com being private, I have no problem sharing the information from it with others. However, I cannot guarantee the accuracy of that information unless I have others closer to his family line verify it for me.

My reluctance to go further here on a public board is mainly guided by the fact that many of the individuals are still living. That is why I asked to be contacted by e-mail so I can share more with you. CFelderAMSC is a frequent poster to this board whom I have had the pleasure of making contact with. Hopefully, his background knowledge of Felders in Elloree, South Carolina will also help me to fill in some of my dashes.

I will contact you at the e-mail address you provided so we may continue to exchange information.
