However, so far the ones I have been searching are in Georgia and Florida. They are not in my direct line, but if you think there may be any connection, let me know. I'd be happy to exchange information Suzy Hugs & Smiles are great gifts: One size fits all & nobody cares if you exchange them! ----- Original Message ----- From: "lynne227" To: Sent: Friday, August 25, 2006 9:33 AM Subject: [ROOTS-L] Is anyone researching the surname Avant?
