<p>[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 2308858, member: 33"]I do a lot of genealogical research. It can be fun to try to narrow down who it might be, but unless you can tie a location or some other piece of data to this, just having a name of the stitcher and the date when the piece was made is not going to be enough to identify the person. There are very few names that are held by only one person during a particular time frame. Even very unusual names sometimes run in families, with more than one cousin sharing the same name. It can be fun to look, though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
