Hi folks, I was asked to forward this news. Please note I have no further information. Do not contact me regarding any of this information. If it is later than April 4, 2006 I have forgotten that I forwarded it. It's best on all genealogy lists to ask the administrator if it is okay to post announcements, so if you have any, see me.
