In my original post, I cited the following URL as the place wherein the article appeared. http://www.rootsweb.com/~wioconto/Lakesfamilies.htm Within my quotation, there is reference to one BettyK whom I acknowledged as the writer of the article. She wrote to me this afternoon to say that she had forgotten having written the essay. You may contact her, I presume, at this address. It is the return address on her post to me. bettyk90@voyager.net She is a subscriber to this message board which is how she knew to contact me. She may be reading this exchange. She seems a warm and friendly genealogist so I expect she will pick up the correspondence and assist you to the utmost. In the meantime, I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May peace overtake us all.
