Thanks for the information, Molly - I didn't know anything about the Belgian CLOSEs. I'd like to exchange some information with you privately by e-mail, but I don't seem to be able to access your e-mail by clicking on your name in ancestry.com. If you could contact me via my one-name web page http://www.one-name.org/profiles/close.html I would be delighted to hear from you.
Best wishes
Margaret

I would like to report an update on my email address. I now use cmeabon(a)ec.rr.com finding Road Runner a great tool. I continue to search for information on descendants of Newbury & Esther Short Cloos/Close that settled in Tioga County, PA in early 1800's. I have over 9,000 names in my file and adding more quite often. I would like to hear from anyone with the name CLOOS or CLOSE. Thanks, Sally
