I found your email interesting and I had to reply. I was searching for any information I may find about my family and your posting is all that turned up. Idore is a very uncommon name and I have Dante's in my family so I know we must be related somehow. Rumor has it, the name Idore derived originally from Iotoro. The name was changed when our ancestors came from Ellis Island. Does this sound familiar?

I was under the impression that my brother was the sole person able to carry on the Idore name at this point. I would love to hear of any other Idores you may know of.

PS Sorry to hear about the sheets. I know how family heirlooms are irreplaceable and priceless.
