I'm going to leave the list for a while... I'm carrying six units and working full time (and I'm glad I dn't have a family right now or I'd be totally insane), but I have no time for active genealogical research until December. My dad (Hoppy) will lurk here and hopefully let me know when something interesting turns up. But before I go, I'll post some people I'm looking for in San Francisco... any info, email me or give a shout to Hoppy ([email protected]) 1.
