PORTER, and requested "previous page" and the "following page" as often there is additional information which would be most helpful. I'll post another response should anything vital turn up. I recommend other researchers avail themselves of their local library ILL program. (Inter-Library-Loan). A blessing for those of us who can't fly across country in search of ancestral data.
