Thanks to Howard, I have the distinct pleasure of introducing Gertrude.
Thank you Howard & thank you to all the Chatters who have helped on the search & followed the story.

It's almost too much to hope for whenever we're researching, but Howard isn't a family history buff & he found us anyway.

His b-i-l was doing a search on-line for something else, saw a reference to our conversation about Gertrude, and the rest is now unfolding.
In addition to having the fun of learning about Gertrude & her relatives, this research has connected family members who knew nothing of one another before. Because of this, I won't say it's the end. Instead, it's a wonderful beginning!
Thanks again to one & all.
