Kris R, Jacqueline & Madge have been a big help along the way. After all, "it takes a village" when you are dealing with genealogy doesn't it? There are others that have much more information than I do. We have been trying to get our info together so we can get a more complete picture of this family. If I have any incorrect info, please let me know. This has been a long struggle to get what I have and I would like to make it as accurate as possible.
