Jack, Been pulling DAR Bibles this morning from a list sent by Roger. Am I correct in understanding the list of Westbrook births are members of the family born in Greene County? If so, do you have that Bible record typed up in toto and will you submit it to Guy for posting? I have permission from the DAR to use anything in the DAR GRC Reports. We will take any other goodies you have to post. Ruth is doubling checking the Carrs - I can't find them in my notes unless they are still in a book. Thanks.
