Joseph Silvester Marter HOPKINS

Today, I received an email from Martin Casey who has a website detailing the descendants of Edward Hopkins who was my great grandfather. Martin is the first husband of my second cousin Dinah Jean GIBSON. However, they maintain contact and I am hopeful of maintaining a dialogue with the the family. This was one of the families that dad was seeking to contact from his own research into his father's family.
