Hi Hope, Thank you for the offer. I really appreciate it. The biggest help anyone could be would be to submit articles or transcribed records, etc. that are ready to copy. My biggest problem is time, or rather, lack of it. It also helps if people submit their families by gedcom rather than hard copy, because then I can format them for a narrative style rather than group sheets which take up so much room. Anyway, any assistence is always much appreciated. I use alot of things from the Farris List like obits and the family info people send because I can save it as a text file and then transfer it to the newsletter without having to retype everything. The only drawback to that is that there is seldom snail mail addresses with the families and many of our readers do not have online capabilities so would be unable to contact the submitter. Sorry, didn't mean to write a book, but maybe this will give you an idea or two. Thanks again. Sandy
