Email 1 from MHM 9/30/07 : Hi John -- The following info was found in a "baby" book that your Grandmother made for Aunt Mary.
It gives the places that Aunt Mary lived when she was a baby.  They moved a lot until the house on Northamption was built.  I vaguely remember your Grandmother telling me that she was afraid of some disease (flu?) that neighbors had so insisted that the family move to a different part of town.  I think that was the move to Bethesda.

Email 3 from MHM 9/30/07 : Attached are letters your mother wrote to friends in Michigan after you were born. 
I like timelines.  My goal was to make one for your parents and Col. Ellis but I haven't done it yet.  There are a lot of papers to review to get the information and it seems, at times, to be overwhelming to even start.  Your timeline is a good begining.
