Shirmag@aol.com21 May 2002 Hi Scott,Will be glad to share info with you. I don't have much on my computer about the Swope's. My aunt had a history done in 1985 and I have learned a little more about my ancestor's in the last year or so. Started out knowing nothing about computers and haven't learned a whole lot. I will be glad to mail info to you. It may be a while. We are leaving on a trip soon,so it may be after we get back, which will be around the 20th of June. How much info would you like.
