Good afternoon everyone, I want to thank the following people for their help and support in my quest. John W., Jeannie Celli, Rose, and John Mc Nicholas. I am quite over- whelmed with the response i received!. It will take me a little bit to digest all the information you have given me. I will most certainly email any information i think will be useful to anyone else. I didn't mention in my previous email that my maiden name was Josephine Meenaghan, My father passed away in Canada in 1974, and he met my mother in Glasgow Scotland. Her maiden name was Kathleen Sheila Hopkins. I believe they married in Canada. Thank you again for your help. Oh! i almost forgot to thank Tony Meenaghan as well. Sorry tony How could i almost forget someone with the same surname as mine? lol. until the next time,..... Jo i. .........JLD2... :o)~
