Your Mom was a Goodrich and you are tracing her Goodrich line backward. That's what I understand so far. And your Mom lived in an orphanage? Tomorrow morning early, I am headed for FL for the Winter. I will be incommunicado a few days, then will contact you. I find it easier to communicate off-board. When I post to any "board", I encourage responders to address my private e-mail address and I like to respond likewise. It is just easier, and I find many times that folks post to the boards and never go back to look for responses. My E-mail is BLL5@cornell.edu . I am retired from Cornell University.
