Hola!!! Muchas Gracias por todos los E mail que recibí de Uds. (fueron 125 E mail) Debo decirles que no se casi nada de vuestro idioma inglés. Estoy aprendiendo lo elemental, por lo tanto les pido perdón y paciencia para que Yo pueda contestarles a todos ustedes en su idioma natal. Gracias, disculpen la demora por contestarles. Hasta Pronto. Félix Adolfo Rodríguez. P.D: Los acompaño a todos Ustedes y su país, Estados Unidos, en este mal momento que les está haciendo pasar el temporal Katrina... lo lamento mucho. Mucha suerte para todos en vuestro Grandioso País. Adiós, hasta pronto.

So my source detail will look like this: "Lowell > Ward 3, Middlesex, Massachusetts; Roll: M593_628; Page: 94; Image: > 188; dwelling 1154, family 1525, Jeremiah O'Neil household [indexed as > Jerimiah Oneil]; enumerated 14 Jul 1870; digital image, Ancestry.com > (accessed 17 Jul 2004)."
