Madalyn.. This is so exciting. It is like being on a treasure hunt for me. Thanks for taking the time to help me. I heard someone mention the Somerset House files as being a repository of alot of birth, marriage and death records. HAve you heard of it? I can't find it on the internet so maybe there is another way to access it?
