Good Afternoon, Listmembers, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who was so helpful in researching my mother's very elusive family. You gave me new insights into them. I would like to give special thanks to Mary Snow who was especially helpful to me. Thank you all for your suggestions and for inspiring me to write an article on the role of the amateur genealogist. Good Luck in your future research. Sincerely, Lou Barsi, Ph.D. Dean and Graduate Professor, Retired
