Thank you very much - indeed she was Mrs. George Lont. Knowing about this sister (Mrs. OC Gale) will perhaps lead me to finding her parents and maiden name!! Do you know of the location of McDounough? Is it somewhere in NY State? Nancy Anderson ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In a message dated 8/15/2011 11:03:50 P.M.
