Hi Mo,

Thank you so much!  This family has been such a pain!  Family lore has always said they came from Inverness.  Close, but....

This is wonderful.  As a fellow lookup volunteer for Wales, I salute you for your efforts.

Many thanks,
Sharon

Hi Mo,

I can't thank you enough for going the extra mile for me.  That now takes me back one more generation.
