Hi Suzanne, We have about 15 subscribers at this time, between the list and digest..I would think that it is a good time to resend your message. After I sent this today, my mother called from NC, to tell me, my grandmother has gotten worse. Grandma has cancer and the news today was she is not expected to live more than a few days to a week or so. We had hoped she would make it to her 89th birthday on the 29th but it looks as if she won't. I will be going to NC this weekend instead of visiting Meriwether. Most likely I won't be back for whatever time grandma has left. I will still get my email, so don't worry that I didn't get your requests. It will just take me longer to get to Meriwether co. and look them up. I can't remember, but it seems as if the names are listed as first initials then the last name. Send it as many ways as you think it might be listed. Will give me more chances of finding it.
