Odie, Thanx much for the offer. I have so little on the Grinnell Family that anything you can send me on the Ancestors of Mary Grinnell would be simply fantastic. A gedcom would be just super great. TIA for any further info you might send. If you need info on the descendants of Mary I will be glad to send that to you. Merle W. Kuhn odie wrote: > > Hi, I sent this also to BEV.
