Since I am not able to travel to NY to do research, I have asked Christine Rose, a genealogical researcher who has done research for me before, to do some research in NY to try to determine the parents of my James Daniel Keech and wife Mahala living in Missouri in 1880.She will be in Broome County in early July but will have time apparently for one or two other stops if there is interest and she is contacted soon. I am hoping that this research will answer some questions for many of us. Also I have found my photos of James Daniel and Mahala Keech and hope to be able to post them on Ancestry in the near future. Not very good photos and only one of each, but at least we have these! I'll post more info when I have it. Good hunting! Marilyn Compton
