Ginny, Yes, you've hit the nail on the head. I have that will and I was totally frustrated because I knew they were there but couldn't put the pieces of the puzzle together and I know others on the list had researched this family. Thank you for making it clear to me. Libby In a message dated 12/8/2007 10:40:06 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes: Hey Libby.
