I am totally fascinated by this whole thread. My great grandmother, who lived to be 3 months short of 100, always talked about Paris and lived there at some point, I think. She had wonderful stories to tell. Her name was Tommie, though she was not one of the Tommies named on the quilt.
What a wonderful thing all of you are doing. (I will talk to my mom about this, though I doubt she can help with your task.) I will be watching to see what else is discovered.
