Hi ! Is this the same Ida Crump who was married to William Edward Lee Dye ?

Hi everyone, Last challenge of the year, coming up!... December is the month many of us celebrate a special child's birth and gift-giving is at its highest level. Since giving is the predominant, worldwide monthly theme, we're going to pick up on that. This month's challenge is two-fold: 1.) Send in your births and christenings from people born in the county; and/or... 2.) Send a gift to the list. Gifts might be be: * census extractions for a family or two, or perhaps the entire county! * a list of names on a year's tax records * a biography * 3-4 generations of a family * a will * a deed * county obituaries for a given period * immigration/emigration records * a family's bible record Your gift doesn't have to be limited to what I've given above; those were just some ideas. The point of this is to give a gift to the list and have some fun doing it. Select one or both challenges to work on ~ it's your choice. I hope you'll all have a safe and happy holiday season. Colleen

Hi everyone, November is the month of the veteran ~ someone to whom we all owe a "thank you." In honor of these brave men and women who serve to protect us, I challenge the entire list to tell us something about (at least) 20 veterans from our county who served during any time period, whether they saw combat or not. Kindly remember ~ as much as we owe our living veterans a "thank you," we do not discuss them here. This is for their and their family's safety, Only those who have passed on count towards the 20. This ought to keep you busy! :-D Colleen
