Just a note. I'm Shane Potratz--Linda Potratz's youngest son. I enjoyed looking at the pictures on your blog. I have a few corrections. The picture you have captioned Shelley is actually MaryBeth--Lorraine's daughter. Top left in the picture is Tim Fox and top right is Dan Fox and they are also Lorraine's children. Jane is actually Janie as well.
Thanks and blessings on your geneology. My dad-Robert, and you would be great friends. He loves geneology and has done extensive research on our family trees.
