Found references to the Dickhut family who came as some of the founding citizens of Quincy in the early to mid-1800's, but cannot trace Gottlieb's parents back to Quincy -- all suggestions welcome. thanks ==== ILADAMS Mailing List ==== List Members need not respond to subscribe and unsubscribe messages.
