Hi Bitsy,
Surprisingly, or not, we were just discussing the 'Elkanah Bangs' name as
rare, especially in 1732, and of course, the 'Content Bangs' name has been
central to the recent discussions, and here you are w/both. Good job!
Re your storage situation, one source ID would be 'Mother's (name)'
notes. Please photocopy them and place copies in a few protected
location/sources. We all face that issue, especially since there is no
'protected location' of choice.
Eventually, scan her pages (I can do some of that for you) and save the
images to a disk. Luckily, disk space is cheap these days so even though
.jpg/.gif/.tif images are large, you could probably get everything on your
new computer's hard drive w/plenty of room left. Eventually, when you get a
CD Burner, you'll be able to burn them to CDs to store & use forever in a
very usable format.
I'll discuss more in March.
Best,
Barry

Hi again,
I was afraid you were going to ask that? Unfortunately much of my
>research was done by my mother, who has now passed away. Shw was very

was all >in her head. That generation also didn't have the ease of
recording thing >that we have (no family tree programs, computers, etc.) I
will look in my >files and see if there is a clue to the souce, and send it
along, if there >is.
I realize that source is very important. I often question things on

Later, Bitsy
