Dear Diana, I am a little confused at the moment, you
must have had a reason to post this URL for New Jersey
in response to my Cron posting. Why would you do that if
you don't know what's in it?

Another mystery, for 80 years your clan has been searching
for your own UE roots, how can anyone help you if you
don't reveal the name of your UE candidate. Beats me.
Perhaps, Heaven forbid, if he was with Burgoyne, he was
one of my Hessians.
Cheers, and good luck
John
