Terry, I honestly didn't think there were even that many!! Just the same I don't ever mind sharing anything I find . I feel that Often The problem is finding the time to do it for any of us. It may be virtually impossible for some of our members, least of all finding research time. I know that at the present, I am in "regrouping" mode, because of having to take care of two households that are 52 miles apart, besides my regular work. There are people on the list who have to be spread out more than that everyday. It's understandable to be frustrated with those who might be "sitting" on information that would probably benefit others. It seems we just have to assume that people are doing all that they can within their schedules. All I know for sure is "what goes around, comes around." So I for one, will continue to share all that I find with each opportunity I can steal to do so. Don't give up on people, or stop in your efforts. You are real asset for us! ..........gaelcee -----Original Message----- From: Terry Jackson <jacksont@nacell.net> To: DOVER-L@rootsweb.com <DOVER-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Wednesday, April 14, 1999 10:54 PM Subject: [DOVER-L] Sharing >Patricia, >How many do we have on the list now?
