Hello All,
I'm new to the list. Recently I've learned more about our PAUL surname.Any
PAUL researchers in DEV/SOM/GLS? Anyone have ideas about researching Stone

Here is a brief outline.

members are Mary (age 55), Sarah (24), Samuel (20): Shoemaker's Apprentice,
and John (15) Tailor's Apprentice. All born DEV.

sees a connection. Nice to meet all of you. Thanks for reading this post.
