Catherine, I had the birth dates and children and their birth years for John and Martha Jane and the children but did not have their marriage date or her parents. Thank you! Thank you! Very much! I have been preparing for another move (UGH!) and have missed out on some of this Gilmore thread. I am curious about the Gilmore's migration patterns....any ideas you would be willing to share? Sorry if you have already discussed this...my brain is about fried with this move and the fact that I still have not found a place to live!
