Houston County Researchers: I sincerely appreciate the efforts being made by Virginia Crilley and Gaila Merrington, regarding posting some of my articles to a webpage for future reference. I really don't consider myself to have more than a normal amount of knowledge about Houston County, or any other research. I just like to figure all angles of a possible situation, and then pursue different courses of action in digging for info. The more unorthodox the route, the better I like it. Knowledge, to me, is: Acquaintance or familiarity with facts gained by observation and experience, or by reading and study. This is fundamental to wisdom. But if we do not have the ability to put it to good use by sharing it with others, our knowledge would be of little value. We must not only regularly read, but also endeavor to apply what we learn from it. Acquiring understanding is also essential in genealogical research. Without it, could we really see how facts relate to one another, and get the complete picture of a matter under consideration? If we lacked understanding, how could we perceive the whys and wherefores of things, and gain insight and discernment? Yes, to be able to put two and two together, and come up with the right conclusion, we need understanding. Just a thought. Take care & happy hunting! William A.

Gaila and I are working out the details of the exact location of this page....and we'll keep you posted. Once we have it located in a permanent home, I plan to announce it to the GEORGIA-L list and other surrounding county lists. I think we all agree that Mr. Mills should continue to do what he does best.....give us hints and come up with new research---rather than worry with uploading a page! He's providing something that the rest of us simply don't have the experience or knowledge to do....
