This old dog would like to thank all of you for helping me out of a
senior moment......and getting me onto the right dusty trail. You kindly
reminded me that two or more heads still a big help in following those
elusive ancestors.

I keep telling the newbies that all of our ancestors left a paper
trail..all of them. We genealogy hounds just have to look for that paper
trail. Sometimes I have to be reminded as well.<g>

Thanks again gang.
