Hi Peggy, Thanks for the comparisons! Now, if we can just establish that your BEDSOLES were Quaker, we are off and running! :-) By the way I have also seen my BEDSUALS listed as BEDSALT, BEDSALS. I keep thinking that I wish I had one of these big wall maps like you see the police having, where you stick colored pins in to mark where a certain person was located. That might be good to see, as it might put them into perspective. By the way, did your cousins ever decide to join this list? I haven't heard anything from them, and we could sure use a bunch of heads working on this!
