Joy by name Joy by nature - thank you for ALL of that magnificent information. This has been a brick wall for SO long, it's tumbled down almost all completely. Now I have the names I can track the connection to Saint Mary McKillop, which various members of the family have known of - but can't tell me how - lol. We should all have Private Investigator licenses for all the investigating we do. Sincerely thank you so so much Joy, made my year! Love Jo
