Dear Deidre,

I am so sorry to hear about your home. You should write an article for the Ancestry magazine; your story is EXACTLY why it is so good to get all this information in a safe place and stored electronically. I am so sorry for the loss of your HOME and everything, including your genealogy items.

Maybe I didn't do this, but I was thinking I was writing to NancyHamilton15 regarding photos, but since you responded, am I correct in assuming that she donated them to St. Ansgar Museum as you mentioned? Was St. Ansgar hit by a tornado too? I will get out a map as soon as I send this. With all the other things you must be thinking about, I appreciate your taking time to respond to my - comparatively - unimportant questions.
Thank you,
Sally
