I am so happy to hear the good news!  I totally understood what you were going
through.  I have a prayer book (I'm catholic, my partner's family (whom I am
researching) is Jewish) that was my GGMothers.  It survived  a World War and a
trip overseas form Italy with my GMother.  When my GMother died, my family was
going to throw it away (not knowing what it was).  I saved it and treasure it!
I was praying that we would get this e-mail from you.
