I would LOVE to hear some "opinions" or, better yet, actual record
ref's. to answer Norma's questions. Have wrestled with this family for
over 30 yrs. and I am back to square one <g>. Emanuel b. 1779 is
definately my line----then maybe? Emanuel 1754 (I think he is but can't
see it clearly enough).

Warm regards,
Carolyn
