Hi all, Lots going on here--we're in the middle of "remodeling", & trying to work that around hubby's job---well--it's been fun!! I'm so sore, & fingers & feet are swollen beyond recognition. I know it's my fingers & feet, though, cause that's where they've always been!! haha Anyway, I got notification that our 1900 census money has been received, & the target date for that one is late May. It actually cost $325, not $315, but I made up the difference. We have a total of $65 for the next census images, 1880????. There's still $30 supposed to be coming in, & an unknown amount. If you haven't sent yours, please do--please! Also, if you know of any businessessessssess??? in Walton Co., that might donate to this project, please let me know. I'll be happy to contact them, & go into more detail! Thanks to all who sent birthday cards, wishes, etc. Ya'll are the best! AND out of all my 46 years, I think this was probably one of the best!!! It was certainly very sweet---and HAPPY!! No one has commented on the Surname Helper on our web page. Is there any questions on it? It's very nifty thing to have. Give it a whirl, & let me know if you have any questions, comments,etc. Is there anything else we need to add? Also, our newbies need to send your info (or ideas) that you want added to our web page. I'll be working on the deathes & births soon. I have some, but not uploaded to our site yet. I'm still working on our marriages, brides, & grooms. I didn't realize I had so many. Also, I need to remind anyone that changes they're address. I can change this on the GenConnect boards, but I'll al;so need to change in some other areas too. One of the "Gen-Kids" is moving to her "old" neighborhood in Colorado, I think. She's supposed to be there Thursday. We wish you well, & will be glad to have you "back" home here too! It's that time again--- to repost your info! We have "babies" coming in all the time that just might be your line, or mine!!! Be sure & use the subject line, as Rootsweb search engines easily pick these up. Example: If I put in my subject line: 1)LOOKING FOR ANCESTORS, or 2)THOMAS RHOADES, which would get the better results?? Do you have other tips that would help in our search? If so, please pass them on. Many thanks go to Lowell HAYES for "directing" us to our cemeteries. He has really been working!!! Take a look at our cemetery page to see what I mean. Of course, there's many of you "behind the scenes" that deserve many thanks too! We all have talents. If you know yours, let me know & I'll put you to work!! I haven't heard yet if the Sewell cemetery is the one that was being looked for, but thanks for posting about it! That's all for now! I appreciate you all! Love you too, Momma Walton <>< "My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you" John: 15:12
