New Page on IMFA

Hi folks;

I just thought of another way to use the Wiki. I often find myself with large files that I want share with fellow researchers--files too large to e-mail without packing them. So lately I've been pasting some of them on the bottom of the Wiki Pages for others to download. It works so well that I've decided to start a new page on the Wiki for just that purpose. I'll call it "Share". Any IMFA member who wants to use this function will be able to do so by asking for write privileges on the Wiki. Recipients of these files do NOT need to have privileges.

Cheers, Wayne

Help: Alexander & Mary Mx

Hi Folks;

As I'm entering data into my family tree software, I find that the wife of Henry Boehm Mx (son of the Rev. Amos N. Mx) is practically an unknown.

She's mentioned in Charles Green's letters, as is her father Alexander "Sandy". Myrtelle Wheeler Mx stated that Mary was Henry B. Mx's "second half-cousin, who descended from Levi and his first wife , whose name we are still seeking." Furthermore, the 1880 Census* for Henry, et al, also lists a female, probably Mary's sister, who according to Ancestry is named Jane, but looks more like Clara to me. Her surname is "Molynaux". These two factors lead me to suspect that Mary's surname (and by default, Alexander's) was some version of Mx. Can any of our readership shed some light on this issue?
