Thanks for the joke. I was wondering what had happened to the messages I usually receive from the Barrett newsgroup. I do enjoy reading the messages and lurking. I have not been researching any of my family names lately, so I enjoy reading about how people in the group are able to solve genealogy mysteries. My Barrett line is through my mom, Loree Cremeen, granddaughter of Ida Barrett Cremeen, daughter of Pickens Taylor Barrett, etc. Back to lurking, Kathy Creath
