LONG -
My grandfather was Louis Melvin Long (Sr.) and he was born in Staunton, Augusta Co., on 28 January 1895. My father's recollection is that he was a store owner, but we're not sure what kind of store it was. He served in WWI, and later moved to Richmond, then on to Baltimore, MD (1923). Grandfather died in Baltimore on 16 August 1959. Would appreciate any information regarding the family. My Father and his Sister are the only family remaining. My Dad's memory isn't that great anymore. Best regards, Jon.

ADAMS, WILSON -
I am looking for a Sydney J. Adams, my great grandfather. He was living in Smyth Co. in 1900, as that was the location of my grandfather (James Kelly Adams) on 4-8-00. He may also be found being born on 4/08/01. His mother's maiden name was Mary Elizabeth Wilson. I know that this area was in dispute at the beginning of the century, so I am uncertain as to his location, although my grandfather's SSA lists his place of birth as Smyth co. Any info you can provide re Sydney J. Adams would be much appreciated. From a photo of his tombstone, his year of birth was 1863, died 1911. Again, thanks for your help.
