Oh my gosh...I cant believe I just saw this...you are amazing...thank you so very much! I have spent years trying to match this Carroll family up to my Massachusetts family. I believe this has given me enough clues to say that I am 99% sure they are the family I have been looking for.

WHAT A SPECIAL CHRISTMAS GIFT THIS IS :)

THANK YOU!!!
Perhaps some day I will be able to return the favor.
