071430 -        almost 500 years which is pretty exciting.  Unfortunately all
071431 -        of the information I have is on my mom's side of the family.  I
071432 -        was hoping you could share with me any information you have
071433 -        about my Welch side.  This would include the names of family
071434 -        members, birthdates, where they were born, etc.  The website is
071435 -        very useful and does a thorough search of available records,
071436 -        but without having any information of the Welch clan I have no
071437 -        data to start.
071439 -         ..
