<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've been looking for this grandfather for many
years and however "right" or "wrong" or "questionable" the information is, it
was great to find something to use as a "junping off point". And....a
rewarding part is that I know it to be him as the signature matches other
items that I have written by him. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks again for fielding this question for
me. Now...to find him on some census record.... </FONT></DIV>
