*Sandra* If they gave out medals on Rootschat you would have one from me! You have gone above and beyond on your research and I am sincerely amazed at the amount of information you have been able to glean for me from one simple request.                                                                       

Thanks too for the personal messages, for which I appreciate your consideration of privacy.

Oh wow Janice, thank you so much, so pleased we were able to fill out your family research.  The icing on the cake will be when a relative picks up on this thread, as I am sure they will at some point.

Regards
Sandra

Hello and a very warm welcome to RootsChat  :)

It is always exciting when a rellie finds a thread. If you make 2 more posts to even just say "Hi" you will gain acces to the Private Message (PM) system and be able to exchange contact info with j-allen. Please don't post this type of info on this open public forum.

Regards PB

Thanks PB, I was wondering how.

And *Sandra*, I love that you found so much information, isn't it such an interesting rabbit hole to wander down.

Hi Smit7

I am here, up to my eyes at the moment with things and need to go back to Harold's information to refresh my memory.

Thank you so much for contacting me, very exciting. Will make another post later.

Merry Christmas.  ;)
