I have called many people to gain info on my family research and everyone has been very nice. I also founded and called my niece's half sister (who never knew about my niece, or that she had a half sister)This has worked out great. A letter can go unanswered. A phone call he might talk with you. Good luck. Tina Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
