Carmen,

I have been in touch with Ray in the past. He does charge a fee for a look
up. I hate to bother him again if I am not going to hire him to do
research. I was under the impression that this list was for volunteer, not
professional researchers and that there was a book of Wills that you had
which was readily available for volunteer lookups. Perhaps I misunderstood.

I will be in Petaluma late in Jan. and early in Feb. Maybe I'll be there at
the right time to attend the Feb. monthly meeting of SCGS.

Thanks for your quick response-

Lorraine
