Thank-you for your information, Carol. It happens that my wife and I know
that area quite well because we have travelled the I84 as far as Millford,
then headed down the Water Gap towards Allentown. We stayed overnight one
time in Port Jervis...at a Holiday Inn if I remember rightly. I had no
interest in Family History then and had no idea that my ancestors had lived
there. I believe they lived in NJ for a time too, and now it makes sense;
they would not have had to move far to land up in PA.

Thanks, again.

Cheers!
Malcolm
