Dear Gary, yes that helps. The information you have provided is helping fill in the gaps (and there are a lot of them). Anything you can find is appreciated. I will share what you have sent with my father. He also thanks you. I cannot believe that within such a short time period, my knowledge of my own family has increased so much. Thanks again.
