Answer 3

Your question came through to the UK & Ireland genealogy forum, you might like to re-direct your question to the USA genealogy forum. Just scroll down the page, and click on the USA flag.

They are much better qualified to answer a USA based question than we are here in the UK. They have some excellent researchers as well. There's Wendy C. Boomer Wisdom & Ted Pack.

Hope this helps.
