How do we get to Debbie Joyner's Web Site?

Hello, ALCOFFEE listers, I have just added a link to Debbie Joyner's website which contains info on the Harrison, Herring, Glover, Martin, Thames families along with many more families. My sincere thank you to Debbie Joyner, who has also just joined our mailing list, for her contribution. I have already seen comment on it, but will mention that Andrea Hickman-Figueroa has been kind enough to transcribe the Brooklyn Congregational Methodist Cemetery for us. It also has been added to our site, but under Cemetery heading. I wish to thank Andrea and her two daughters for their kindness in performing this tedious task of transcribing for us. Happy holidays, all listers.

Andrea, Thank you so much for surveying this cemetery. I found Anderson, Barnes and Coon relatives buried there. I would not have known where they were buried and their birth and death dates, in some cases, if not for your hard work and generosity. Shelby Corcoran -----Original Message----- From: Andrea J.
