This is my "swan song", and I don't plan to send out any more copies. I think I've sent everyone who asked at least one and to some of you both the attachment and GEDCOM. However, for those of you that can open the file (in whatever form), I hope it will start some interchange among you so you can locate your ancestors. If anyone finds a clue to link up to my Richard Dotson b. 10/23/1752 in Shenandoah Co, VA, I'll be eternally grateful! Richard's descendants are listed at: http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/r/e/n/Betty-D-Renick/ Happy Hunting to all! Betty
