To Shirley and others, can you do me a favour, I have a sister to Malinda named Alice Emiline Treen born 1853 d 1931, now I have Alice Treen married to a Alexander Rufus Lishman, the Lishmans are my family, if there is no Alice in the Treens side then that wipes out my connection to the Treens, this is the only thing now that I need that connection, many thanks Jill. :-S
