Candy, It must be because we are in Michigan. I think the are snubbing us. I have a Welch who married a LeMaster and still no one will claim me. I think that they are all jealous that we can hold up our hand and point out just where we live. Who needs maps. I have a Mary Welch who married Raymond Lemaster. she was born 1916 and married in 1936. Still alive as far as I know. (Always add pertinent genealogy info to idle chit chat. That's why we Michiganders are always on top. ) Only kidding. Please don't stone me. {o O {o Semper Fi.
