Hi Renee, Thanks for the DeGruy information in Genesis. Since I have ordered many Sacramental records on my various New Orleans lines, I know first hand that it can be quite expensive. For this reason, I believe the fair way to balance out the cost of these records is for anyone with a direct ancestor involved to collaborate with their "cousins" and take turns ordering the records. We just need to know who will be ordering the record, so that there is no unnecessary duplication. Get the least expensive records first, but remember that the sacramental records often give us another generation back when we are "stuck". Right now I am actively involved with researching over 10 direct ancestors with some original records in Germany, France, Ireland, England, Spain, and Scotland. Just knowing which are the best records to spend the money on is a challenge. Then there is the challenge of getting the right currency along with the correct forms to submit. Thanks again for all your time and effort in the DeGruy endeavor. Love to All, Isabel
