Frank I too am a silent member, I am monitoring this list for a friend who is one of many who are descendants for Gilluime Fuqua. When I find anything mentioning her family I print it off for her and then she compares it to what she has and hopefully they can help each other. She has been helped greatly in the past from other members who we have contacted directly. Keep up the good work, as it has been said sometimes these lists become quiet for one reason or another, but it usually comes back around. ----- Original Message ----- From: <SHELTONCLAN@cs.com> To: <FUQUA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, April 29, 2003 12:00 PM Subject: [FUQUA] list survey > Frank, Okay.

Frank, I too am a silent member. I cannot connect my William Fuqua to any on this list but I stay on and print off things that may someday lead me to a connection. My William Fuqua according to census records was born in NC so I am lost on him so far but I still enjoy this site.
