Staffords - pt 1
Doug Gentile
copy of the most complete description of how all the Staffords are related
which I received from Rah Williams [rah.wi...@virgin.net]. The format is
difficult to figure out at first glance, but it seems to explain the
intricacies better than anything else I've seen. I would be interested in
this body's opinions. I have broken this file up into four pieces.
