Calli & Vince, (and others!!) I should be more reverent with my first posting----but couldn't resist the subject line! Forgive me? BTW, Vince, I caught on to the Mug joke (tic = tongue in cheek) right away but it took me two full minutes to realize you were talking about a PERSON who posted to the PaDauphin List. ("poster" as in sign on the wall----now how would a poster get on the Dauphin List???? <vbg> Had a good laugh AT myself!! Now on to NICE surname. I have the Nice/Nyce/Nues/etc.---Custer/Kuster family in my line, Calli. Just tonite ran across a lot of xeroxed papers from different books and they are loaded! with information. Vince, please tell me if this is inappropriate to the List. I know the Custer/Kuster family were later arrivals to Germantown. Hope we can get some info archived. If not, I hope Calli will contact me privately. Warm regards, Carolyn
