Hi Meg, thanks for note. I'm not in Mobile, just visit there occasionally. My connection is that my grandmother was a Baumhauer, married a Lynch. I'm not directly connected to either the Lyle's or Therrels. Good luck on finding some 'good info' on your trip to Mobile. I tdhink a key question at this time is what was the relationship between Linda Dodds Baumhauer and the rest of the Dodd clan? Bye for now.
