Dear Sandra,
Wow what alot of info! Thank you for taking your time to look for me. I will
print this letter and check out the sight. The map sounds like a good idea.
I wonder if the same people who change the spelling of surnames are the same
people who keep changing the names of the streets. So all our unfindable
relatives, (because of changing spelling of their surname) All must of
worked for the city planning committee at some time in History! LOL
Thanks Again,
Michelle
