I will keep everybody posted as I endeavor to substantiate this lineage. In the meantime, I will close with a story from the Italian side of my family. We had a DiMeo reunion one day, I mean really, really big, worse than a large Italian wedding. :-) All day, everybody was trying to figure out how they were related. It went on and on. Finally, I went to the band's microphone and I said "Attention DiMeos! We are all cousins, I repeat we are all cousins!" It got a big laugh. So, when I think of the Chases, I always think "we are all cousins". :-) Thank you all again. "Cousin" Margaret Russell Chase :-) ===== Margaret "There is special providence in the fall of a sparrow.
