Hi All, I just wanted to spread the word that I just updated my web site. If you are looking for Hightower Info I have a lot of it. The URL is... http://skyelersroots.95mb.com let me know if you have any questions, or if you find any errors, or if you find a connection I love it when people find connections. Thankyou, Melanie Ponder Nee Brown

We would like to thank all the nice people that have volunteered to proofread the transcribed records. We have got caught up with the transcribers at this time. If you did not get records to proof, you will be contacted when the next batch comes in. We also need transcribers. If you can work just a few hours per week, it would help us greatly. For more information about the project, please e-mail me privately at elantr@earthlink.net Remember, once the records have been transcribed, they will be placed online so everyone can have access to them for FREE. Doris Robbins

We need someone to proof read some records that are being transcribed and will be placed online for everyone to use FREE. If you can help, please e-mail me privately at elantr@earthlink.net Thanks, Doris Robbins

Recently a cousin sent a photo taken in June 1956 of the children of Thomas W Short and Atarah Estes Short. The photo can be seen at http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ga/county/polk/Mystery.html We need help identifying the children. Please take a look and let us know if you can identify any of the children.

We are participating in the SOUTHERN SMITHS DNA PROJECT in hope of finding our correct SMITH lineage. We encourage all that have Southern SMITH roots to visit the website and consider participating in the project. http://www.southernsmiths.org/smithdnaproject.htm We have noticed quite a few people on Rootsweb and FamilySearch.org and other websites are or were researching our SMITH family, but in most instances we cannot contact them because of unknown or invalid email addresses. If you have any knowledge or connection with these SMITHS please consider helping us in this research. We will be more than glad to share information. eddyflick@comcast.net
