Please drop me a line if you intend to link to any of these pages from your website -- I am basically curious about who is out there looking at this and also, so that I can keep you up to date on any changes. My basic motivation behind all of this is learn more about my family's history so any comments, corrections, or criticisms will be welcomed and appreciated.

I would especially like to acknowledge and thank the following individuals whose research, labors, help, and advise I have made copious use of here:
