Hi, Behymer/etc. researchers: First of all I hope all had aMerry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I was so busy in Dec. that I didn't have any genealogy time. Sorry for the belated greetings! Regarding off topic messages: If we tell one person that they cannot send these messages, then we must tell everyone to stop. That means no personal messages or friendly greetings or silly jokes. Since the core Behymer research group began as a group of friends, it was decided that off topic messages were permitted as long as they were clearly labeled in the subject line. The genealogy has slowed down during the past couple months and a little chat among the group lets us know that there are still members out there. It helps us keep in touch. If you want to restrict future "chat" messages, we can discuss it. Anyone with thoughts on this can email me. Happy 1999!!! Twila Veysey Listowner
