Needing the info you are providing in the "clean up" of Hardesti info - as I am direct decendent of Francis Hardesty. However, I'm not sure how to read your edit marks. When you state info and then include <blah blah> - is the original info or the info within the arrows/carots the correct info? I first saw the marks relating to dates, and wondered if it meant "less than" or greater than - but that doesn't make sense. Can't find a key for this marking. PLEASE let me know. Very much wanting to get my info correct. Thank you so much, Karen Hardesty
