A most interesting and informative web-site. Thank you. I am researching the Marfleet family of Tampico, Prophetstown and Sterling. I have located the references on your web-site but would welcome any other information in particular I am trying to find out more above a photographer's Marfleet and Hart of Sterling (sorry if this is outside your area but I'm calling from UK). My website can be found on www.marfleet.co.uk and my e-mail address is webmaster@marfleet.co.uk Thank you.
