Carole, I was serious about that smile :>).... No offense taken. I will now spend the rest of my evening fitting your facts and tidbits into my little family tree. I seem to have aquired yet another Phillip Dulmage. You have been most helpful. Its fascinating how many times these families circle back and inter-marry. Thank you so much for your time.
