Hi everybody: Last April I was so fortunate to be able to spend some time in Carlisle at the County Records Office, where I found a lot of old records, relating to my Langcake ancestors and their relatives. Some look great, some not so good. I am 74 years old and need all the help I can get with the transcription. Judith was so good to allow me space to post a "difficult to read one". I need your HELP. Please look it up and click on http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~oel/ Thanks very much, Art Lengkeek
