Keri,
We would be pleased to help. I remember your grandparents very fondly. The massive home that housed so many cousins, which they had in Old Orchard Beach, was very special to my brothers and me.
And while I didn’t get to see my cousins often because our Dad was in the Navy, I nevertheless do have unforgettable memories. Who are your Mom and Dad?
I have been working on a book which I call “My Cousins.” The book, because of graphics, is 7 MB; I don’t think AOL will let me send you a file this big. But if you will provide us a snail mail address, I’ll send you a copy.
As a software developer, I have used all the major players; the best software is Family Tree Maker by Ancestory.com. It simplifies research considerably.
We also have had both of our children: J.P. & Michelle’s DNA tested through Ancestry.com. Interesting technology.
And finally, I have been working on a family website. I have your grandmother’s obituary on the site. [This site no longer exists. Instead, the new URL is https://mycousins.org – Editor]
If you know how to work on websites, I’m willing to provide you access to add to them. Either way, it was good to hear from you.
John
