I am so sorry to read about the loss of Bob. We had lost connection when Greta passed. I am a cousin of Greta's and my mother was Josephine Fullerton. Greta was the collector of all our family histories. Would you by any chance have a copy of the Fullerton (and McCloskey) family tree? In my move to Florida I have misplaced my copy.
