Thanks to my cousin, Bernard, our family historian, who provided me with
almost everything I have on this side of my family and continues to help me.
If there is anything wrong on this site, it is probably my misterpretation of the genealogy.
Please let me know as I welcome all corrections and additional information.

A lot of people already know this, but I'll say it again:
Bernard, YOU'RE THE BEST!
