Re: [Torrens List] Military record

[Judy Hergesheimer <jdherges@xxxxxxxxx>]

Good to hear from you, Linde;  your email encourages me to tend to my  
family research after a respite,  I have just had my computer
"upgraded" and am unable to open the PAF program until I get expert  
help.  (Not happy!)  Having reviewed my hard copy files,
I don't find such a Thomas Torrens.

Happy spring!'
