To break down my family's long-standing 'brick wall' is my purpose for joining, and maybe learn some new tricks, and new places to look to determine if Ann Breach was John's mother.

Thank you for such a prompt reply, less than 24 hours from joining! I live in Ottawa, Canada and help researchers here. It's wonderful to be on the receiving end and I'll let you know if your suggestion works. I'm excited to give it a try. Thanks again.

Thanks for the suggestion. The site is so vast that it will take some time to acquaint myself with how best to search but I definitely will give it a shot.
