Dear Group, This is posted for the benefit of the entire list, but especially for Carol Greenwald Scouler. You may not know Carol but she was the one who replied to my message about Mr. Atkinson's dancing class and reminded me about the dance cards of way back when. This is to help her in her research of her Greenwald family and also to help any of you who might recognize a few other surnames. vee The Greenwald Family Excerpts from the book, "Niagara County, New York . . .
