I agree that we should all help. I check my vast variety of lists several times a day...don't know where I would be without it. I also belong to several family organizations, the National Genealogical Society and my local. I write those checks once a year and smile. Why don't I do the same for something I use every day...I just never thought about who paid for this great service, but I will now gladly send something. I don't need another cook book...who has time to cook when I am busy searching for ancestors so I am going to send a check right to them. If everyone reading this list sent $1.00 think how much that would help out. Beth Sloan (looking for a darn stamp!
