Howard Swain,
Thank you so very much for all of the help you have given me. I have been
reluctant to join the New England Historic Genealogical Society, but
perhaps the "time is now!"

And I will certainly look for the Monthly Meeting Records.

Just to learn of those sources of information is a great service.

It may interest some readers to know that I believe that some things
happen in order to make other things work out in a better way, and I am
grateful for the questions the DAR had about my daughter's application. The
positive results from it are as follows:
1) My daughter's application was approved on her Birthday as a result.
2) I was forced to dig a little deeper and as I did, I found a link to the
HOWLAND's of the Plymouth Colony as well as numerous other Surnames that I
had not yet found.
3) And now Howard Swain has supplied me information that I had been wanting
anyway, but since it wasn't urgently needed until I needed to find an
answer for the DAR, I had just put off asking for.

Thank you all for this list!

Billi
