Rubyslippers, I'm not understanding the problems here. I don't see anything wrong with your post. I'm hoping people aren't trying to attack you but just trying to help. I thought your info was helpful to sort out the relationships with the Barber's--so many with the same names and the generations are difficult to keep straight. This stuff is not easy. Don't lose faith. Patty rubyslippers wrote: > Sorry. There is nothing in the archives discussing Andrew Norton and this > issue.
