Hello Norma, You are welcome Norma. I am glad you found it interesting and/or helpful. You mentioned my Montgomery file having a bit of prose at the beginning. The reason I have all that sort of stuff, notes, explainations, historical notes in my various family files is because originall I put it all togeterh and wrote it for my immediate family; my siblings, my children, and maybe a handful of cousins. I hope y'all don't find it silly or boring. If you think there was a lot on the Montgomery file, you ought to see my Stenhoue Family file, or my Middleton file. I added a good bit about Scottish history, etc., on my Stenhouse file and some Welsh stuff on my Middleton file. In any of my family files I always start off with explanations, a bit of history if I could, etc, for the benifit of my siblings and kids, etc, who probably don't know much of anything pertaining to those areas of history, etc..
