Ann,

A couple things.. Number one, good to see you back online!

Send me your snail mail address off list and I'll get you a good map of
street addresses in Charlotte Amalie. It makes wading through the
census much better.

Which Adams family are you looking at? I'm interested in the maternal
ancestors of Alton Adams (the Bandmaster).

Tell us more about your search for your paternal grandparents- perhaps I
can find a clue for you in my info..
