I have data from arriving in USA to the present, some families more complete than others. How bout I start with the arrival and take it for couple generations? Or tell me what you have and I can fill in around it. I would love to have the correct names and ages of the children of Charles and Mary and his CW service, if any. I have a record that I was going to check and it would be nice if you could confirm or deny so I wouldn't have to do that.
