You are very welcome! Always glad to know that something I share is helpful. Thanks for filling in details of your husband's family. I notice from the birth date for Lewis Partee, and Mary, that Mary Ramsey appears to be about 22 years older. Is there a possibility that her birth date is a mistake, since it would have made her 22 years older? Thanks. Jean At 10:53 PM 1/26/2014, you wrote: >Jean, >I really appreciate the post.
