Hi Robert,

Thanks for answering my request. I appreciate the info. It's been very helpful.

I guess the nagging question still is: who was John Detweiler and wife Sarah?(Ann's parents). I hope to get this sorted out some day.

Thanks again. Let me know if there is anything I can look up for you.

Bye for now,
Adrian Hunsberger
