Just wanted to say thank you to everybody. I'm sure I must have "sounded" like a wild-eyed lunatic..or at the very least, desperate to find out about Dorcas! :o) Anyway, I appreciate all those who sent me messages to let me know that ALL of my messages had made it, and also that there was actually someone else out there who is also researching Dorcas Kelly! I'm glad to be on this list and hopefully I won't have anymore problems (although this most recent boon-daggle appears to be more of a misinterpretation of things than an actual problem!) Anyway, thanks again to all of you! Tillie Smith O'Kelley (as you can see...I've got both the KELL(E)Ys and the O'KELLEYs covered...which are minimally easier to find than the SMITH line!)
