I've been a christian my entire life. I've been studying Spiritism for quite some time already; I strongly recomend the books by Allan Kardec as a starting point, specifically "What is Spiritism?". As the doctrine always recommends: do not simply believe; search, research, and learn by yourself. Other readings could include: "Missionaries of Light", "The Mensagers" and "Nosso Lar – An Account of Life in a Spirit Colony in the World of Spiritis".

I am a big history buff and appreciate our American heritage.

Leah Fox lived in Rochester, NY and was self-employed as a music teacher and the 2nd house she lived in in Rochester was next to a cemetrery.She lived there until her marriage to Underhill when she moved to NY city. This was just about 10 yrs after the Hydesville rappings. The Capron's took Katie to live with them in Auburn. So if you go to the country courthouse and look up Eliab Capron you should find the location of the house (if its still there).
