NORMA,
My MELVIN'S are pretty well worked out, I think, but was surprised to see this HANNAH and this MCELWAIN line.
My MELVIN line goes: JOHN MELVIN (the immigrant who ended up in Concord,MA); JONATHAN MELVIN; JONATHAN MELVIN; JONATHAN MELVIN (Rev. War) MA to NY; JOEL MELVIN (died young of TB), MILAN MORREL moved to Oregon.
PHOEBE
