Marilyn,
I have been getting many e-mails from the Sinclair discussion list and
thought
this one is of interest. I've seen a few of your entries looking for info
on our
Sinclairs. Have you contacted Jean Grimsby? I read that she is a great
source
of information and she responded to someone in one of the e-mails that she
now
only helps direct decendants.
We may be coming this weekend. Tom has taken Monday off and wants to ski
at the park. I'll give you a call when we get in to Great Valley or will
e-mail you
if we are not coming. Maybe we can have pizza for John's birthday.

by

through

"getting

we

resource

of

Sinclair,
