Particularly interested in finding out if the Cornelius and Helene family record has been updated since 1962 and where I might obtain a copy if so.I am a granddaughter of Laura and Peter.If it has not been updated, I am interested in undertaking that task and need to locate as many descendents as possible in order to do so.
