Carole, I very much appreciate your contributions to the list. I descend from one of Barbara Heck's brothers. I am looking forward to a visit to Ireland this summer to see the area where my ancestors, the Ruckles and Starks, lived prior to ending up in western Maryland by 1822. The Ontario event sounds wonderful, too. Please keep up updated if there will be a reunion of Ruckle/Ruckel/Ruttle. Beverly Walter Oakmont PA
