Every effort bears fruit - though sometimes it is not obvious. And sometimes. we must accept the reality that some information may never be available or known. We have gathered this from from cousins and friends. We relish the contact we have had with cousins we have/had never met. It is impossible to proceed without a grateful nod of the head to: Mary (Berrigan) MacKenzie ; Judith Keys ; Rick Woram ; Suzanne (Kelley) De Souza and Paul De Souza ; Pat (Glynn) Hoppe ; Doreen (Glynn) Meischeid ; Mark Meischeid ; Marianne Meischeid ; Margaret (Glynn) Curry ; Michael Splotti ; Gina Cote ; Dr. Jim Moore .
