Dear bearfriend-thanks for sharing and inquiring about this, I wish I could help but I am in Australia. I do have a request though. PLEASE do not send attachments to the list. I receive them and the are in another part of my hard drive software, i haev to go looking for them through file manager and then delete them, very time consuming. I suggest you hold the attachemnt until you find people interested/knowledgeable of your family and send them the attachement. thanks for that consideration. Cheryl in AUstralia PS-i grew up with a WElch family in Stratford Connecticut, 1950's thru 1960's. Mother taught me 3rd grade, son was in my high school class.
