Hmmmm! Looks like I might be able to start up again next friday. I will try to get to all the requests as fast as I can. My list still starts with April, so those who made recent requests the list is long and it may take awhile. Deborah Story Rootsweb Los Angeles Mailing List Volunteer ps- I just watched the movie "Pay it forward" and it reminds me of all the volunteers I have met thru my own genealogy research. The volunteering of their time to help others may not seem to be as hard a request as the movie, but taking ones time from our own life to help others, whether it be for genealogy or everyday life, it is still a good thing. Something I was taught by my own parents. They helped alot of people thru their lives and my mother still continues to.
