Jarid, Thanks for your interest, I had already obtained this Info from another source, but I must say thank you for your email, one thing... I can't understand is the ssw/ after Mary A's Info, I guess "W" stands for wife, and "S" is Son, but the ss stumps me, could you enlighten my limited knowledge?
