Thanks, Steve. I entered the data as you list. I still wonder if it is possible that Emma had had a superbrief first marriage to a Brickey, but I am going to not fret over that unless I find it listed somewhere else as a fact! I appreciate your reference, your source! It makes it so much better. Hope your health continues to improve.
