Hi Everyone,

Have a major trivia question to run by you please? We are trying to pin
point exactly where Deep Branch is located - particularily the "head of Deep
Branch" in Bertie. Here are some Bertie land descriptions that involve Deep
Branch. Thank you for thinking about this and would really appreciate
hearing if you know where it is. Many thanks ~ Marianne

[PS I finally located Humphrey Nichols will but can't find the person who
needed the info? If you would like to have a copy of this please write
back. ]
