Thankyou Jeffrey, As a matter of fact, I had just been browsing your website before posting my request. I had gone straight to Joseph Chace's line and was touched by the heroic efforts of Samuel and Elizabeth Chace. Interesting that I have a great great great aunt Mary, and a great aunt Mary Chase still living. It is for her, that I have been working on the family tree and would like to make a gift of it to her next July on her 100th birthday. I will browse your site more and will hopefully come up with a plan for my visit. Thankyou for the photo. Thankyou again, Pat >From: "Jeffrey Chace" <j.b.chace@gmail.com> >To: CHASE-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: Re: [CHASE-L] Chase Ancestors >Date: Sun, 16 Jul 2006 19:21:38 +0200 > >Hello Pat, > >Well, I think I can help you.
