know were in Switerland he was born .
John,
Do you know the name of this Prof. Christian. A heartwarming story, but
should he continue in anonymity? I ask because I may be related to this
professor.
My Christians were in the Corsicana area somewhere in this time period, and
I'm wondering it this is a story not bruted about in the family (I'm
distantly related, really.)

I'm new to the list, so bear with me. I've been hit-and-miss
researching the WILLIAMS and CHRISTIAN lines without much success.
There's an adoption problem back when.
I'm hoping that anyone who recognizes these folks will contact me.
Thanks in advance for your help

Hi,

Good luck!
