Hi all, Since we have several newbies on the list & in our family, I thought I'd introduce myself to ALL of you. My name is Bettie WOOD, & I'm the "listowner". I have been dubbed Momma Walton by the Gen-Kids on the list. The list was started by myself back in Dec. 1998 or Jan. 1999. We have about 135 family members, & started a web site, http://www.rootsweb.com/~gawalton/ sponsored by Rootsweb,& the all the info is provided by us, in the latter part of Aug. 1999. There has been approximately 1700 visitors since then. I live in beautiful East Texas, & have for almost 20 years. I have 2 children (girl 23, & boy 21), a hubby of 27 years, & the most precious 4 yr. old granddaughter, Lindsey, who now lives with us, along with her mom. I would love to hear more about you, & hope you will share your ancestors with the list. We have many eager helpers on this list, & they gladly do look-ups! If you want to send a message to the list for all of us to see, then mail to: GAWALTON-L@rootsweb.com There is also the mail list archives at: http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl Just follow the directions. If you have any questions whatsoever, please feel free to write the list or me personally. I'll do what I can to help you find an answer. Welcome to the list, Momma Walton <><
