I will send that information later, as this is rather lengthy. Hope it is helpful. One must do a lot of "detective" work in learning about one's ancestry..... finding the pieces to the puzzle is challenging, and rewarding when successful.. During the search, we learn much about the time in which they lived, and I find that rewarding, too... makes us appreciate the present. Janet in Illinois
