I should actually take a moment to thank not just Colin but the several other people on this list who have replied to my query both on-list & privately. So thank you, all! My apologies for not acknowledging each e-mail as it was received, but it's been an unusually stressful time around here. Anyway, my original problem still remains unsolved, and that is to verify whether or not my Catherine Lund is in fact a descendant of Thomas Lund. I am awaiting receipt of records from Nashua which may help with documentation. Thanks again, David Berry
