Dear List Members, Let me preface these postings by saying, that I do not know the original source of any of these. Sometimes the place is named which might lead me to believe the article came from a newspaper in that town/city. I was sent these by a friend back in 1999, by way of e-mail. I will not post them all in one day. I know y'all get tired of seeing my name in your mailboxes. *G* Anyway, maybe we can glean something from this data. I have been going thru my files, both on my harddrive, and floppies, to see just what I have and want to keep or dispose of. Sharon D w ------------------------------------------------------------------ *note* Some do not have any dates, but they are all in the 1940s. This 'seems' to begin about 1943 from an article above this one I began with, about Georgia's crop yeilds of 1943 etc. MORGAN BROTHERS MEET IN IRELAND.
