Dear Mark,
A few months ago I wrote to you about your great grandfather Obadiah Ames, brother of my great grandmother Emma Ames. Sorry, I didn't reply to your previous message as it was accidentally deleted soon after it received, and it has taken me a while to find this particular message thread on this website. I can tell you a little bit more about my side of the family and send a photo that I have of Obadiah with his family (which I have nearly finished repairing), if you send me your private email address, if you are still interested that is.
Hope to hear from you again.
Kind Regards,
Chris
