Dear Newbies and even those not so New to this genealogy hunt, Tonight, after three years of trying to track, trace, hunt up, going thru dusty books, cobwebbed shelves falling on top of me. I finally got to post something to a mail list that really says it all to my heart. Four generation of my line I could share for once. If I could bottle this feeling of joy and pass it along to you I would. With your cost only being a smile. I do not think I have cried this much since, well heck I do not know when. Tears of JOY. :) All JOY. :) I know some of you are new, don't know what to do. Hang in there. If there is only one thing my Granny ever taught me is.....family is worth everything and then some. And no matter what, I will do whatever I am able to do to help. And I know there are many great hearted people on this list who will help where they can. And along with them, me and Ruth...we are going to do this. I have a ton of records coming to the web site soon, so...we will all get there. Tammy
