Thank You for your very kind words. I too want future Harris researchers to be able to find the documents they need. Pam, your help has been greatly appreciated by me. You are working on one documented branch of the family and I am working on the other documented branch. Putting our research together, we come up with a more complete picture of Group 6. I also want to thank Pat for her help in cross-referencing Group 6 and Group 8.
