Thank you again for your msg abt my ancestor, and yes I'm curious also, just nervous about projecting myself to unknowns. I appreciate your candidness and it gave me some insight on how to progress. This was all several months ago and I am finally going over my old emails that are awaiting some kind of reply. Today I proceeded to send her a msg of my Woborils. I think I have found only a few Woborils in all the many pages of microfilm I have scanned. Definitely not a common name in Chicago.
