Agreed, But I was hoping there was a link to a paternal grandmother who is unknown. It was worth a try! I have the lines all around this one back into the 1700s and 1600s... this one is stuck! Well it will give me something to look into over the holidays.... Laura (who is getting ready to make a Turkey, Ham and bunch of other food for Thanksgiving here tomorrow.... Hope everyone on the list has a great Thanksgiving no matter what country you live in! I am Thankful for the people on this list!
