Hi Linda: I'll be the first to welcome you. I was also one of the first on the list a few years ago. I drift in and out because my daughter moved to OH and I visit often. Somers Point is a lovely part of NJ. Altho I live in Farmingdale and love it here. I had a friend whose maiden name was Trout. She came from Salem. If you see any connection please reply privately and we can discuss her. I am also into genealogy. I was looking for my great aunt for over 20 years. I bought the entire 1880 census on CD and found her, she was a nun. Good luck. Ann in Farmingdale AVP
