    3. Hello Muriel, Just sent this to the PBS email. http://www.pbs.org/kbyu/ancestors/newseries/ Hello, Your site just came through a genealogy mailing list with the URL listed above. Hunting for missing and/or disappearing ancestors can be an enormous chore and challenge. Using "family stories, rumors and tall tales" to start a search for a phantom is sometimes a strange ordeal which may lead into having to search government documents......like military police records. What should a person do if such records are not forthcoming, but yet the records you are hunting for are at least or almost 75 years old? Shouldn't family members have a right to investigate those kinds of records to find out just what happened to the disappearing relative? I think so. Just how far does the US Freedom of Information Act go? Sincerely, Jacquie Baral Jacqueline Baral <jacquiebaral@earthlink.net> ============================================= Many thanks, Jacquie! We have many Home and Bernardo Children looking for families -- the only way is through census and other government held records. Muriel Davidson <davidson3542@home.com>
