Dear Derek et all, Now don/t laugh all of you but hopefully you do what I do. I set aside some of the messages with notes like---get back to this one and try toGET THE ANSWERS. Then things pile up and you get busy ---and you know the rest of the story. Anyway, I apologize.--- Derek made reference to the Freeport Historical Society in Maine--a typewritten genealogy by Thomas Dunning. Also, Derek mentioned the connections with the Merritt family that I believe also connects with the Soule family---or am I wrong? Is there any of that material that would be of interest to the others in this group? Thanks Ginger in Az.
