Hey everybody! I'm so excited I could bust! My dad & brother went up to Green Bay WI on a research trip this last week. I haven't heard from them until this AM. Dad says they hit paydirt! They were on a cellular, so didn't want to talk long, but they found out where my ggrandfather, Joseph Touchette, is from (Montreal); they found out my Irish gggrandmother's surname really *is* Garrigan.... (which means we've probably got more on my Porter line). And he said something about having work to do in upstate NY. They're off to look at cemeteries in Oconto Co. (Little Suamico & Abrams) and won't be back til tomorrow. I'm trying to talk them into stopping here on their way back into the city. (Dan says No) My fingers are twitching, I want that info so much! More coming later this week! Marsha
