As many of you know I have been working on my family tree. Well, I have had an overwhelming od e-mail from my mother's side. Surnames are: Shreve/SHERIFF, Fairfax, Winchel(l) and Shore(s). As I was surfing the internet I ran cross this site. http://www.shrevehistory.com/ In one of the sections I found this http://www.shrevehistory.com/Museum-Image-Library.xml TOKENS 1.

Very neat tokens, Cheryl. I know how special they are as the token in my avatar was issued by an ancestor. I think there may be some tokens on my wife's side also, but I have not been able to verify that. I think tokens with the family name on them are pretty cool anyway, related or not, and I have a collection of those. I am also working on accumulating a set to put in a frame to give my brother in law for a Christmas present, and I have about a dozen tokens and a few pieces of script so far.
Wow, that is really cool! I had to break out my tokens book. I have a few family reunion tokens. Thought I may have had one for you. Alas, none are any of those names.
Hope you enjoy your tokens, But those don't belong to me but it is good to know they are out there. Cheryl
