The names are presented here as they appear in the old records.  Corrections, current spellings, and/or alternate spellings are to be found on each man's individual page, which may be accessed by clicking on the man's name -- where additional information is available.

    Where we have contact people and/or descendants, the info will be found on the individual employee's page, accessible via link from this page.

     If you have information on any of the following men and are willing to share your knowledge, drop us a line and tell us about it.  Be sure to let us know if you would like to be a contact person; if you say yes, your name and email address will be placed at the foot of the appropriate page so that other interested parties might contact you directly, with -- if you desire -- a brief synopsis of what info you do have to share.

     If you want to share but don't want to be an official contact person, and would rather we relay any queries to you, we can do that, too.  Just let us know.

     If you submitted a query and it isn't here, remind us (a gentle nudge never hurts; Life gets a bit odd now and then) and we'll get it set up for you.
