Colette, I apologize. I over-reacted; however, I was not offended in the least. Old turtles like me have very hard shells. Several times prior to this, I spent hours getting information for people, only to discover they had asked someone else to get it also. I am currently working on 17 research projects for people and I want to help all of them, but I don't want my work to be duplicated when I could have been helping others. Fear not, I will get you the information you need; not as an act of random kindness, but the love to helping people with their genealogical quests. Incidentally, the "Gloria" you refer to is my sister. Justin Houser is a great guy, but he lives in Centre county and would have to make a special trip to help you. Peace.
