Hi All, Well okay, then I will leave Edward O's kids as posted! Should have known after reading about his group in "Mitcham War" . Perseverance was a genetic trait. Eva, please accept out belated condolences for the passing of your uncle. So thrilled to hear you found another Bedsole way out on the West Coast. Looking forward to hearing the info on the family. Gosh there are so many more of us out there than Bob and I ever imagined when we got started. At Christmas we printed down our most current genealogy report for the kids and Bob's brother Phil with the promise of updates on a regular basis. It was the quietest moments we had when each got their book and began reading. Thrilled me of course to see their interest. Bob and I wish for all you a wonderful New Year! Best Wishes Peggy
