Thanks Carole.... Oh Joy! A birthdate for Casper and a brother for Margarath. Although my feelings are hurt that you don't care about my Dulmages' :>), I appreciate your dedicated search for Casper and anything you have to share about our common history would be very much appreciated. My e-mail is [email protected] I'm afraid I'm too much of a newbie to have much to offer, but if opportunity permits in the future, I promise to gladly share and give credit to someone else on the hunt.
