not much chat going on here since i came back after the summer. I got a real "kick" last week. Since someone had sent me Jpegs of GGGgm graves over in Wales, I figured it was time to put a little back into a study where so many others have been so helpful to me. So i dropped into a few of the thousands of closed church graveyards around where i live, and posted surnames to a "canada-graves" Rootsweb Forum. Four people e-mailed me asking for grave transcriptions. And one in particular sent a name and dates, so when i walked up to that gravestone, i knew that it was the requester's gg-gf. And was able to copy about eight related names from nearby stones,. as well as send a JPG from my cheap digital camera. But the EUREKA feeling is really something to enjoy, even when it's not my own line.

I think that our research would be easier for all of us if we were all a little more helpful to others like that. Keep up the good work! Best, SueB
