I want to post this in appreciation of Ida's e-mail to me and to the various persons who have e-mailed me with incentives, and offers of help. I have found persons who are related to this Line of Damons and who are willing to share with me the info that I seek. Also, I will take Ida's suggestion to me that I try for the interlibrary loan route, utilizing our brand new $8meg. Snohomish Library a part of the Sno-Isle Library system. The adrenalin is surging again and I am off into the green pastures of those "who want to be found" despite the years we devote to that pursuit. Thanks a meg. for people like Ida who go to bat for the inquisitive ! As Ida said to me, we surely miss our devoted friend, John Wm. SLONIKER who supplied so many gens. with answers to their questions. We all certainly miss him on here - I lovingly tagged him our "Ferrett" because he could find answers for people and he was so generous with his help. We sorely miss him!
