Oh, please,please,please say one of them was born around the turn of the
century! We are stumped so early in the game that it is soooo frustrating.
Our Ollie lived outside of Batesville for most of his life and had 14 kids,
was married to Alma Mae Gaskill and that's all we know- Do any of your Ollies
match any of this to some small degree??
I had a hint that Oliver and Oland are two possibilities for his birth name,
but this family is known for using nicknames for the birth name, so it
could've been short to start with.-Renee
