Member Since: May 2003 Posts: 300 Send Message	oh Thank You so much. Kathleen died as a baby. I had been looking for her name. So appreciated! X X Hi again... Don't think that that is the same Robert unfortunately. He was definately born in the early 1920's. I just can't find his birth or death. How perculiar. Thank You for all your help!
