Hello to Crisane, Valda and Eyesee:  I am overwhelmed and astounded at what you have found for my search.  This is so fantastic and I can't believe your generosity in taking the time to look for this information and forward it to me.  I would never have been able to locate this information as I am in Canada and I am just beginning to learn about genealogy.  I really can't thank you all enough.  I am so happy and to very grateful to you all.  Susan

Hi Susan

You might never have been able to find this information but only because you are inexperienced in genealogy - or genealogy on the internet, not because you live in Canada. I don't know where all the contributors of the information live but at least one lives a lot further away from London than you do so location at least for some main records isn't the issue.

Regards

Valda

Hi Valda:  It is good to know that distance isn't as big a factor as I thought.  This is a facsinating pursuit and I can see that I am getting hooked.  Over time, with any luck, I will hone my skills and uncover lots of new information to share with the family.  Thanks again for all you have done to assist me.  Susan
