[or-roots] Roll call merrick

[Gary Murray]

i'm sure you already know this but merrick and myrick are interchangeable. i 
did a lot of work on the myrick line for my step-niece and had a really nice 
chart framed for her wedding.  there is a huge book on the merrick/myrick 
line.  don't know where to get it but have seen it and used it.
gary in az.
