I picked up a War of 1812 record for a Leander Sacket on my last trip could this be the same one? I am not sure of all the ones I got or what is in them but I also got a Clark, Oliner, Harry/Harvey and I think a couple of others. I am hoping to have them on line soon but I am still playing with HTML code. Liesa On Tue, 3 Jun 2003 18:51:32 -0700 "Thurmon E.
