I have spent countless hours pouring over books, research materials, and military documents. I've read the history of the AirForce. I have purchased books describing uniforms, and unit information. All of this just to describe to my descendants what it was like during different wars. But what is most forgotten is the men that served in these wars. Living or dead, they paid you with their time, their lives, their families happiness. They stood up and defended a belief that we should be a nation of our own. The fought against eachother in a war so bloody, that it left a nation divided even to this day. They cried out against the attrocities commited against Cuban's and then went to defend them. They went over the seas to protect the United States in not one but Two World Wars. Since then they have defended not only our own nation, but that of others. Many of these men are still alive today. They may be in the home next to yours, or your Grandfather. They may sit down with the children in your villiage and talk to them about the old days. They are your friends, companions, or an acquaintance, who enlisted and served in times of peace and in times of war. They left friends and family behind and dedicated themselves to the ideal of peace. At a great personal cost, why not take a few moments to thank them for it? Below is a URL to register your Serviceman. http://www.usgennet.org/~vregistr/index.html Hugs Wendy --WebTV-Mail-2154-6643--

I'm looking for my mother. I live in Maryland. Do you have any country volunteers for searching your county records? Name: Hazel Lancaster, b 3/19/42, Telfair County, (possibly) Milan, Ga. She was married to Joseph (Joe) Grace, Jr. also of Telfair County, Ga. Her mother was Opal Robinson, b 11/14/26, Dodge County, Ga and her father was King Lancaster, b 12/21/14, also Dodge County, GA. She gave birth to Kenneth Lee Grace on 9/5/56 in McRae, GA. It is my understanding she remarried, had additional children, and moved around Perry, Ga or Bibb County in the 1960s. SSDI record search: King Lancaster, b 12/21/1913, d Mar 1982 (256-24-3859), Huber, GA 31201 (Macon)(Bibb) Opal Lancaster, b 10/04/1914, d 03/24/1988 (254-18-1914), Forsyth, GA 3109 Please email: LuckyBogey@aol.com or kgrace@csc.com

I have recently visited an older relative of my that I received a great amount of information. My family is into their 31st year of having very well organized family reunions and a book has been published each year since the first reunion. This communication is two fold. One I am trying to find more connections so that I can communicate to them about this years reunion and to find someone else in my huge family that has the passion for our past as I do. These are but a few of my Surnames: MOBLEY, SCOTT, LAMAR, DRISKELL, COLVARD, McDOWELL, PITMAN, BELL, BOSTICK, FRAZIER, HANSFORD, SHANNON, STEWART, SUTTON, TILLER, WALTON, WATSON, WILLIS, WOOTEN My family has a very interesting history and I would like the privilege of being the next Alex Haley!

The 1860 Census in Monroe Co. shows Peggy (Rousseau) Lucas, widow, as head of household and living alone. Does anyone know her burial place? Husband was Littleberry Lucas; they had been in Crawford Co. in 1850, before his death, but also had lived in Monroe Co. at one time. Any information will be appreciated! mjmbland@mindspring.com
