Although that is all too true, I've since found found proof of the truth of
so many things she told me as a child when I doubted her, since I thought I
knew better at the time.I was wrong, and I learned my lesson.I've also
gleaned a great deal of information from cousins, all older than me, and my
oldest living relatives. A great resource, if you trat the information as
clues only.

Cheers,

Roy
