Hello I think I am back. <g> Thank you, Leslie, for stepping in and keeping me up to date on the happenings on the list while I was disabled. I received from another list Adm. who is, also, using AOL as her server that, yesterday, someone reported all America Online mail as SPAM and Rootsweb blocked all AOL users from their servers. They have released us, now, but if you use AOL you may want to go to Rootsweb.com and check the "Threaded Messages" for all the lists that you belong to, to see what mail you missed yesterday. Thanks again Cousin Leslie and I am thrilled for you that you found your Thomas Bridges on the 1880 census. That census transposition is wonderful. For years there were some of my ancestors that I assumed were dead before 1880 and I have been able to find them in that 1880 census that was transcribed by the LDS. For all of you who do not know, the LDS transcribed the 1880 census and not only the head of household, but every person that was listed in the census is in the index.
