Shirley, Thank You so much for the information. I am hoping that maybe if I ask a cousin to go and look for it in Hawaii maybe they will. They are not into family history so I am a bit worried they may not do it. I get into family history that it is like a hobby to me. It is my time to relax when I do this but always have to wait until my son is asleep so he won't bother me :) I want to Thank You again.. Mahalo Kathy
