Maureen, You would get better responses if you would include the name of the person you are looking for, not just the last name.. We're all looking for Cooleys on this list. Include a first name, birth date, death date... whatever you have on someone and then ask about his/her parents information. You have to start with what you know. I have received four of your messages but have not responded to any. One was not about genealogy. One did not include any names at all. One was your response to someone else's request for information about a William Cooley. And, this message that only has last names. Were there others that I didn't get? We'd love to help you. We are all hoping that you might have a clue about one of our own stumbling blocks. We wish you lots of help... just give us something to work with. ----- Original Message ----- From: Maureen <abc@empire.net> To: <COOLEY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 10, 2000 10:28 AM Subject: [Cooley] Mail? > Listers, > It seems I am not getting my mail.
