Nick, I have to apologize, but my Lesher file was trashed a few months ago and I haven't gotten around to working on it. It was the first file I worked on with outside help and it went click,click finished and I learned very little. So, since then I've been working on my mother's side (Willing) without help and it's full of challenges and rewards too. So my Lesher file is hurting. My Jakob Loescher (umlaut over the "o") lived in the Alsace area of France. I'm not sure he ever made it to America. His son was my John Lesher. Very best, Roy
