Linda, Thank you so very much for your kind comments. They are appreciated, but I must tell you that these church minutes are the work of Debbie Jordan Moore. I am only sending them to the lists for her. This was her idea and she followed it thru and convinced the church that we could help preserve their original minutes and make them available to many people in the process. She deserves all the credit, not I. She is also doing the transcribing. Thank you, Debbie.
