Donna, I remove them after a couple weeks along with general chit chat messages such as: " I have all my genealogy papers in storage right now, but as soon as I get them out, I'll send you some information." "Hi uncle Frank, it's me, Susan, Uncle Harry's daughter, how's Aunt Martha? My husband just started a new job but we'll be up your way to visit next summer." I don't see any genealogical value in them. JMHO, Marilyn -----------------------original message-------------------- In a message dated 11/17/2006 8:49:01 A.M.
