How wonderful to get so much information when you thought you didn't have much to go on! To all the helpful folks on this site, THANK YOU!! You have given me much to think about & look over (isn't that what we all LOVE???) Will have to do some of it after the holidays -- not getting much done here! It amazes me that so many people give so unstintingly of their time & expertise. My family was broken, so myself & 6 siblings don't have much family history to go on -- thus my quest. This is making a very happy holiday time for us all. We now feel we have "family", with roots. Thanks again, one & all! If I haven't directly replied to your generous help, please be patient! I have a son coming home from the Army in a few days & things will get quite hectic. But I WILL respond to each & every one of you kind people! MERRY CHRISTMAS!! Beth Rutherford
