In deference to more methodical researchers, it must be said that I donot have hard-copy documentation of most of the data in this file. Creditfor most of it belongs to the many genealogists who have generouslyshared the results of their long hours of hard work. Wherever possible,their names, and sometimes email addresses, appear in the footnotes.Without them, this data file would not be possible.
