Colonel "Winkle" Yell was my great-great grandfather. Edward, if you are related to him, I would sure like to meet you one day. In Kansas, we have a saying "blood is blood". Perhaps you could come and talk to our local history group one day. I am not sure that Alicia has got all the details right.If you are interested I will send you a copy of the family tree. It is good to think that one of his ancestors or relations could be a plucky little Brit. Edward I do hope to hear from you
