I was a bit disappointed to find that this thread wasn't offering free BMD certificates! LOL But I'm more surprised to find out how popular the name 'Free' was. My g g g grand father was John Free Smith and so was his 4th son. Also his son, my gg grandfather named his 2nd son, John Free, as well. Lynn |
