Many of us who have been on the list for a lot of years have become good friends and cousins. Over the time, however, we tend to forget just who has which lines. I discovered people that I did not know were researching many of the same lines I research. Many people over the last few days made valuable connections with other researchers. Also, people who had not shared their research interests came out of the woodwork and shared. It was very interesting to find out the various family stories that lead to everyone's current Dutch research. I think we did run the topic through its course, but I am so glad we had this chance to make new contacts and renew old ones. You will never find a research list that is as lively, as informative and as helpful as this list! So read it or delete it! Smile and be glad you're Dutch! Groetjes, Dutch Cousins!
