Fwd: Coats Kershaw Co SC
by Charlotte Coats-Siercks
FYI...I'm not sure if Caroline is on the list yet...however, since we
have that wonder archive of the list now, I just don't want any of these
little tid bits to get lost....We are also not sure of that William's
father as Thomas...or the Sarah Cramer....
Linda...I'm working on getting back on track but it'll be after the
first of the year, so bear with me....
