I would love to tell you where I got my information, but I cant at the
moment.  My sister has all my docs :(  I just didn't not have the
time to do it lately so I gave them to her to sort out.  I will have
to get them back.

I would love to get a copy of you gedcom file and check it out.  I would
post it on the web site if that is ok with you.  I really need to redo
it. It is very sad looking at the moment.

I got most of my information from the Maryland Historical Society.  Very
good place to find things.

Hope to hear from you soon,

Regards,

Robert R. Hardesty         _  _             _ _ _      _
