I am a genealogy researcher who charges $10 per hour, and could possible help you get back an additional generatioin or two with the help of census records, probate records and naturalization records. If I can be of any help, either pointing you in the right direction, or by your researcher, please let me know. Susan Stahley rsm.stahley@verizon.net
