Benjamin Welch, Master Car Builder

From: "Thomas Lifschutz" tlifschutz@msn.com

My great-grand uncle is Benjamin Welch. I don't know much more than you insofar as what you have published. My mother Barbara (WELCH) Lifschutz is still alive as is my father, Joseph Lifschutz. I have copied this message to my father (and sister) in the hopes that they may have some more info for you. My mother does not use email and I will talk to her in person.

FYI. I am traveling next month back to Peaks Island, Maine an early residence of Benjamin or at least his father.

Question

I have several questions in regards to the transcontinental railroad for my nephew's report.

Thank You
