I haven't heard much on the Bridges list for awhile, and nothing on DNA. Mine is not posted yet, but I'm wondering if any other matches have been identified. Thanks, Dawnene < Hello Dawnene, and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you. I am sorry that I haven't gotten your DNA results posted but in addition to the busy Thanksgiving Holiday, my Mom, who lived with me, passed away on Dec. 8th and we weren't able to get to Arkansas to bury her until Dec. 20th, so I lost several weeks with the planning of the service and Christmas and all. Today I am hosting a birthday party for my grandson who turned 6 on Dec. 21st, but attended a furneral instead of a party. I think we have another DNA result in, but not a match. When we get matches, I try to get the results posted right away, no matter what all is going on. Hopefully, tomorrow, I can begin working on the websites. I am doing 10 of these Projects, so you can imagine how far behind I am. I am posting this to the Bridges list as well as to you, to let everyone know that I am still alive. Happy Holidays to all.

how do you get off the list??????????????????

Yes, I must be subscribed. I am getting these messages. Thanks for asking, Jeannie

Jeannie I haven't heard much either. However, I have been pretty inactive and I also need to catch up on some correspondence with some of our DNA cousins. I'm still not any closer to finding anything out about my gg Grandfather James M. Bridges Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas.

Julia, I'd like to add my sympathy to what the others have said. You have been a help to a lot of us, for which we're grateful, and we hurt with you. So I pledge my thoughts and prayers. I found that it didn't matter how old my mother was, I was still not ready to give her up. God bless you! Velma

Thank you for responding Julia, and I'm so sorry to hear about your mother...Blessings to you and your family at this time...

Julia, So sorry about your mom. I lost mine 2 years ago at age 93. I found it helpful to keep envelopes of beef or chicken broth on hand, and instead of having a cup of coffee to keep me going, I would have a cup of broth. God bless. Mildred
