Dear Ed, Thank you so much for your help and thoughtfulness. I certainly will be going to the websites shortly. I will keep you posted on what info I find towards my ancestors. Unfor- tunately, I don't speak Spanish ( I speak French, though ) but you have given me an incentative to want get started in learning this language. I will take your advice and get someone who speaks Spanish to help me on the Spanish website. Would you suggest a familiar teaching vehicle ( a program that you are familiar with that teaches Spanish ) that I could get started with shortly to learn this language ? I know there are several websites that offer Spanish instruction courses, but I would be more comfortable with something you know for a fact is a reputable instruction course.Thank you again.Diane A.
