Happy 4th, Kat!

I'm finally giving myself some fun time to go through my back log of
Dorchest County e-mails. Your luck was encouraging. I'm going to hang onto
your address. All of my three original 'American Ancestors' may well have
stayed in the Dorchester County area. I know the cemetery where on of them
is buried, but not the other two brothers. The preservation work is
encouraging.
