: Dennis, I don't know if anyone has thanked you for the postings in this

: amusing. So many thanks for posting them.

That is one of the reasons I post them. If someone recognizes an ancestor,
location, or event, so much the better, but to my way of thinking, without
a context for their lives, genealogy is just a collection of names. You
may as well collect spoons or matchboxes.
