Carol, I saw that you mentioned the name Lovejoy in the list of families.. Where are they from? I have a friend who has Lovejoys in her family but she is not on the internet. If you could e-mail me privately at [email protected] I would appreciate it. I could then send her the information. Thank you very much.
