Hello Thanks so much for the warm welcome I have received from so many of you on and off list! My fiance, Jan Alexander Koso, and I are very excited to see such a buzz of activiity in our new neighborhood! We officially move into Alki on 3/30 and will be sure to attend some of the upcoming genealogy society meetings. We are both members of the NEHGS - in fact, Jan was a member of the Inquires Service for the New England Historic Genealogical Society. He is working the publication of volumes of the Mace and Smart families of New England. I , on the other hand trace most of my folks to Rhode Island - and then right back to Ireland - on all four sides. Thanks once again for the warm welcome and information! I hope we can be of use to any of you who are looking for info on New England or Irish ancestors. Slainte Maureen Reilly When the winds of changes shift ~ adjust your sails
