Ann, I come from a different Rudd line, but "Lightkeeper" caught my eye and I read another exchange where you said you loved lighthouses. You may enjoy this site: http://www.lava.net/~tabor/. Ralph Williams has some delightful pictures of Gulf Coast Lighthouses as well as his family history of four generations of lighthouse keepers. While I am not related to Ralph, his family and mine were connected for several generations because both were involved in the Lighthouse Service. Merle Rudd Harms.
