I have to step in and say a big "Thank You" to the Darnall list, and the list owner for finding my husband's Darnall linage. While I was digging around with a teaspoon, Awiusdi had the resources to research, and she did. Our line is DAVID, MORGAN, DAVID, JEREMIAH, MOSES, JORDAN, JONES, GEORGE WASHINGTON, and CARRIE MYRTLE DARNALL. Awiusdi is a warm, caring person who shares her life with all the Darnall family. She has researched the best way to get all our information onto the web for all to share. In the last year, she has moved from Oklahoma to Washington State, found it necessary to move back, and yet she kept the list and communication intact. That takes determination, dedication, and perseverance. She also has to be thick skinned enough to take these slams. Is anyone giving her help and suggestions on how to set up the site, chat room, and communication easier? Are we builders, or a destruction crew? What have I done to help build the Darnall line? I have sent private E- Mails of encouragement and copied and mailed Darnall information I have found. Not much at all in the light of what Awiusdi has done, and continues to do even while moving across the US. There are many silent people on the list. They are called the "Silent Majority". Many of you are sitting back, waiting to see how much flack hits the fan, and what the end result will be. Now is the time to speak out, whether on the list, or privately. Don't wait until our list owner crumbles under the weight of despondency from a few ungrateful subscribers and shuts down the list. If you find it valuable, let her know. Perhaps we won't "strike gold" every month. But eventually, with determination, we will find that missing link to our past. Merry Christmas and Best Wishes to all for a Blessed and Prosperous 1999.
