"Hi, How delightfu to get a reply!?I had forgotten I had sent you an email.

I am not sure how I even found you, except I did use google for Aaron Peck. Most likely have your page saved in favourites too. have so much stuff saved that I don't know how I will ever get through it all.

I am not too great with generations yet, still learning how everyone fits into my life past Great-great-great relatives.

Your Nancy J Nixon, is the daughter of my Great-Great grandfather. My Great grandmother's? father's sister.

I hadn't connected the Dickson part but did have that record in my shoebox on Ancestry. It is Nancy Jane (Griggs) Nixon, not Mary Jane, who is altogether another person. Have seen some trees with that name but they are not checkingsources.

Where is your connection to Nancy? This must mean we are cousins? many times removed? Do you know Shirley Hill or have contact with her? Would love to hear from her.

My regular email address is (XXXXX@XXXX.XXX) which is better for attachments ..." <>
