I would be interested in contributing the Edmonson pictures I do have. I have a family picture of W.W. Edmonson (William Washington) who is the namesake for Edmonson, Hale Co., TX. I'm trying to locate more and will be attending a reunion in January located in Plainview, Hale Co., TX. Hopefully I'll pick more up then. Re:Chad In my HUGE family, the Geneologist hat passed from my Great-Great Aunt to me, so the interest in geneology passed over 2 generations before I took it on. So far in 1 year I've loaded my tree with a little over 3000 individuals and believe it or not gotten my entire family interested in there roots. So, don't fear....someone is bound to have a "investigative" spark in them somewhere, perhaps a couple generations down. :) Your work will be the backbone to someone else's research. Greatly appreciated I might add! Gayla On Wed, 01 November 2000, "nancy_wood" wrote: > > I agree with John that having a source for EDM pictures on the internet > would be a good idea.
