Thanks, Laura. I must first verify the existence if the hair. It will likely be beyond my expense, but I was curious. For what it worth, I reponded a few minutes ago to Charlotte's request (6/14/05) for more info on various ancestors with a rather lengthy e-mail that may be more information than others want to know. I realized after I sent it that I may have sent it to her only, not the list. If anyone else wants the answers to the questions she asked, let me know and I'll send it to everyone.
