I'm glad you find them helpful, Nel. Thanks for letting me know the package arrived safely. The index was very faint and hard to read. I hope I didn't miss a Hatcher.

HATCHER website: http://hatcherfamilyassn.com HALL DNA project: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~nhatcher/hall/HDNAtest.htm "If you can't stand the skeletons, stay out of the closet" - Val D Greenwood Ah!
