Victoria,
At this point these silly Shockley's are starting to confuse me.
I believe that some of Shockley's were in Ohio but how exactly they
connect, I'am not sure of at this point. I will keep this email handy
can you send me your Shockley names so I can compare them with what I
have so far and see if I can fit them in.....
Thanks
Donata Boyle

your group? Victoria Gibson
