<DIV>Hi Les,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Sorry it has taken so long to respond back to all of these emails
concerning the Lavadour, Rondeau and McGinnis families. We had been in
contact sometime ago on these lines. Much has happened here in Missouri
which had occupied my time and had temporarly taken me away from the
research. It has been difficult to find extra time. At one time I
had put you in touch with Kathleen Christensen. If you would like and if
it is okay with her I will put you intouch with her again. Perhaps she can
help you out with the questions. Let me know.</DIV>
