Thank you Poul-Erik---
This is my third great grandfather and I am trying to document his family to get back another generation.
Again Thanks.
I had to go to Wikipedia to remember the term 'Maundy Thusday' for 'Holy' Thursday in holy week, and discovered also that some English speakers have also known it as 'Skeer Thursday'.
Ralph--thank you..based on your comment I to looked it up and found the Wiki article very interesting.
What an education we can get via this forum and family research.... again thanks everyone.
