Actually I am looking to hear from someone who may be related to the people I mentioned. Somewhere and somehow there does not seem to be any connections. You would think that somehow and somewhere the Vance name would pop up so big that it will get people to really looking at it. Let's put it this way I have put out there that Frank Vance died in 1918 according to his death certificate, and that his death was in Abbeville, S.C. that his son Frank Vance was the informat. Also other searches have been put out there that there was an Allen Vance in the 1900 census and in his household were Mary Evans, his sister, and her children Harry, Ira, and Jessie. Then I put out there my own father John Evans, my uncle Ike Evans, and even went as far as their father Joe Evans. By now one would think that someone in those families would come forth and help me bring this research to a slight close here. Just steaming off. Peace, Joseph
