>Chas. Brammell or Brumble, etc Dorothy, Thank you for the continued help with my name-changing relatives. As for the timing, heck- I haven't even recoverd from Christmas, let alone the new Millenium. We had family from far and wide staying with us so it was pretty special. I think of the ILPIKE group often because you are my only link to Barry, a town I will always know best from Mom's stories about living there in 1907 with her grandmother Catherine BRAMMELL and grandfather Solomon SHEWE. Her best friend was Lila DODGE, who lived close-by. Thanks to Mom, I know a little about things like ice blocks taken up from the cellar (what's a "cellar"?) in summer and riding in a one-horse rig. "Dan", I think was more of a work horse than a trotter, but he was special in Mom's eyes, and she had no trouble remembering his name even 92 years later. Thanks again! Best regards to all on the List. Brent Banta San Diego, CA
