Thanks for the great responses to my question. James Lynda and Joyce all gave me wonderful info Also I had asked Ida for a death lookup which she kindly provided. The man died in Bartow county which is a surprise to me. Let me throw out some names to see if any of this rings a bell with anyone. I am looking for info on Henry E Green {c 1879-c 1948} probaly Smyrna Ga area His wife Emily Mary Ayers[ c 1877-c1956] Ayersville Ga? Their son Lavogie Green {1911-1996} died Bartow county. I believe Henry and Emily ran a dairy farm. Thanks again for the help Chris

Reading the names that people have posted for look-ups can sometimes lead to those searching the same names. I do appreciate it when people correct the subject line. That way we can delete if we are not interested in the subject.

Chris: These are 2 different counties in different areas. Smyrna is in Cobb Co next to Atlanta. Toccoa is a town in Stephens Co near the SC/NC line. Lynda

Can any body tell me if there is a church named Holly Springs Church near Smyrna or Toccoa area? I do not know the denomination and am not certain of the location? Is it obvious that I am grasping at straws? Thanks Chris

Please keep sending messages to the whole list...I don't want to miss anything, either. Judy in Newnan

I often learn something from answers. I read the subject; if it does not interest me, I delete. I prefer deleting to missing something important.

Would someone who has a copy of the 1850 Cherokee Co., Ga. census be so kind, to look-up Jesse MONROE on page 926. I need to know who is listed with him. I am looking for the parents of Eliza M. Monroe who married Hiram J. Partain in Pickens Co. in 1859. Thanks in advance, Billy Shepherd sheps1@communicomm.com

hi all! It is awesome that we have such a wonderful fellow researcher like Dee that is willing to share her plethora of resources with us, but it is not necessary for all of us to receive your requests for lookups. Please be thoughtful and send requests to her personal e-mail account, not just clicking on the "reply: icon and sending all of us the note. It is a quite a task to wade through all the messages when especially they're not for our eyes, but for Sue's. Please correct me if I'm the only one that feels this way, if so, I'll keep on wading.

Amen, Helen!!! I wish everyone would just put about a 5 second thought to that subject line, especially folks replying to a message in a digest. It could be WAY more helpful than it is. I never have understood how anyone could think "Digest #xxxx" is a helpful subject. Congratulations on running into a new cousin. Catching that note borders on the miraculous in my book.

If you have your anti-virus program updated routinly and active on your desktop at all times. THAT's YOUR BEST SAFETY NET ! ! Rootsweb will not generally let a known virus go through to the list . And if you do get a warning message of and "Active X " you will know that your virus program did detect something, and you should do a complete virus scan of your complete system immediately. With out delay ! Not opening an email from the list unless you know who the person, is like the person who doesn't ask the dumb questions . . . if you don't ask you don't know, and if you don't open then you will never know ! Why else would we be on this list ? ? But to share info. NOT bugs. Some how that doesn't sound right . . . But I hope some how the meaning comes out . . . I am not bad mouthing anyone here. So don't flame me . . . I know how to use the delete key, and block your mail from my inbox if it happens . . . . The closing message is . . . .

I don't really care one way or another but just wanted to share what happened on another list I am on. Someone had sent a request via the list for the location of a certain place in Georgia. Well it caught my eye cause it was where my hubby's ancestors are from. Well as it turns out the person doing the request is a cousin and I would never had met her had she not sent her name(which was at that time one that I did not have in the tree) and location request to the list. I myself have no problem using my delete button and believe me I do--between my business and genealogy I probably get close to 1500 emails a day. The only thing I would like to see stressed is to put the proper subject in subject line. That really helps when you are deleting a lot of unnecessary mail. So I guess there are pros and cons to this subject. I would say the final say so comes from the listowner???
