Hi Janet,
thank you so very much for your prompt reply but especially for the time and
effort you took in doing this for me. It seems that you have given me a lot
to think about and update on my tree. Now that I know that there were some
Wills, I most certainly will be getting them. What a pot of gold you have
found for me. Thanks once again.
Kind regards
Sharon Kirby
