Dear Alberto: Thank you for your help. While Michael and James do not seem to be descendents my direct line, they might possibly be related to another branch. It will need further research (another thing to add to the "to do" list!). I would like to take this opportunity to say a heartfelt thank you to Alberto, Charlotte and Marybeth. By posting information about Coghlan's book and generously looking up information they have provided a valuable service to fellow researchers. I live in a small town where my access to information is limited. Not only would I never have come across this book but I would not have known about Argentina being a possible area of research regarding my ancestors. Keep up the good work, it is much appreciated!
