To all those out there who are discouraged and upset about "bickering" All I can say is 1) Is it really so hard to change the subject line (a few just never seem to get it). I belong to several lists and get very aggravated when I see a bunch of "re..... " and it is totally irrelevant to what they have to say - I'm sure I may have missed some good information or an opportunity to perhaps help another because the subject line was something that I didn't are to read. 2) Like I said, I belong to several lists (after all, I'm related to several families!) If you hang in there long enough something someone has to say will help - maybe, you will have an opportunity to be of service to others (I have a lot of stuff in my searching that has turned out to be someone else's "stuff" - I'm not going to just thro it out!!!). Quit being so small minded thinking only what's going to be there for you - personally, I think my CRAIG family came to TX and creep into the woodwork - I can find no one related that I didn't already know. 3) Traits: Religion: Methodist; education: very important (in other words, Teachers 'n Preachers). Great longevity; Height: average (men 5'10"-6'3" - women 5'2"-5'8"). My line: (1). John Burton CRAIG b. ca. 1794 Buncombe Co, NC d. 1869 Hopkins Co, TX (flu) m. Mary Nancy YOUNG (2) Mary Texana CRAIG b. 1841 Hopkins Co, TX d. 1927 m. Harvey Wesley CUMMING (3) Maud CUMMING b. 1873 d. 1953 m. John Lynn CARRELL (4) Lois CARRELL b. 1898 d. 1976 (Parkinson's) m.
