Hi Rex, again,

Forgot to ask you if you wouldn't mind sending me the addresses for those
four QUICK's in your telephone book ?
Not everyone is interested in family history - and being as they would
possibly be only two generations down from the two brothers I am looking
for I might strike lucky.

Have subscribed to NFLD-LAB-D and am keeping my fingers crossed there too.
Regards
Mary
