Thanks, BF. We will be there until Wednesday or Thursday, so hope to get a lot done. We have already searched the online catalogue---maybe that will give us a headstart. I am looking forward to making a great new find! Doesn't happen very often anymore. That was so much fun when we first started doing research. The best part now is making contact with all the cousins! Best regards, Patricia In a message dated 02/03/2002 1:44:22 PM Central Standard Time, [email protected] writes: > This is BF.
