Saw this on the Cannon list, and if 'the man' doesn't mind, we can list our wishes. I would love to have dinner with my ggg grandfather William Washington Couch ca 1816, his dad, Levi ca 1791, or even his grand dad Benjamin Couch ca 1753 SC. My wish would be to know what life was like back then. How they would feel with all the inventions we have now. Why they came to Gwinnett and Coweta Counties GA. And how they would feel knowing 'we' (everyone in general) don't know that much about our families. And if they would be mad at us for watching tv or being in front of the computer all day long, instead of visiting relatives..... Happy Thanksgiving, Dianne Wood P.S. I polled about 20 people (10 male & 10 female) in a local resturant. 45% could not tell me their grandparents names, or could only remember one name. 75% could not tell me their great grandparents names. 90% could not tell me the maiden names. Lots of them said "They were dead when I was born". Or "their name was Granny, or Mimi Lastname". __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!
