Jean, I have sent you an e-mail on Serepta and Nelson's family. I thought it might be easier to converse that way. I have a lot of Welcher info to share, if you are interested. I also have a photo of Serepta, and some of Mary, that we could use to help identify your tintype. Let me know via this message board if you don't get your e-mail. Hope to "talk" with you soon! Wendy
