In answer to Don's question: I personally have 3 sons and no daughters. I do have 5 generations born duri;ng the 1900's. My mother: Constance L. Locke b.06-10-17: (me-Ann L.Chisholm b. 01-28-40: my
middle son (and only one with children) Patrick K. Lake b. 10-05-61; Pat's eldest daughter, Kelly J. Lake b. 01-11-82 just gave birth to a son, Enrique b.09-21-99. Whew! We just got 5 generations in
just in time. Ann Lake
