Josette,
Great suggestion. You got me motivated. I spent the whole night digging up
Carsons from early PA wills. I will try to cut and paste to this email, but
just in case it doesn't come through in an orderly (readable) format, I will
also send it as an attachment to you directly as an attachment. Hope it is very
helpful to you -- or at least to someone.
