I couldn't have described my family any better. Whatever they were, they were mine and I am a part of them. I will appreciate any information you can give me and I'm willing to share what I have. I think it's very important for people to know where they came from. I will begin checking on the two books you told me about and see if I can find them. Thanks, Delroes
