Hi, You were not asking for information about Katherine R. Gosman, but since it is a surname that I research in Baltimore I thought I would touch base with you. I have a record of a Katharine Gossman b. 22 June 1870 and baptized 26 Jul 1870 at St Alphonsus Catholic Church in South Baltimore. Would this be the same person that you have mentioned? I would enjoy hearing from you. Nancy Weaver Knight RAMOSCLANN@aol.com wrote: > > Hi Everyone, > > I'm new to this list. I'm searching for Samuel N. Riston (1871-1954), md. > Katherine R.
