Dear Friends and Cousins, I wanted to take a moment to welcome our newer List Members. We would love to get to know your family research interests. When you feel like it, and have the time, introduce yourselves and let us know where your interests lie. We have folks around here who are always willing to help if they can. Please don't be dismayed or discouraged if you don't receive a reply right away. It doesn't mean no one cares. Some are on Digest and don't receive the messages immediately. Some are busy with other things. Sometimes we can't help you, because we just don't know. <G> Wait a while and then post again. New people are always joining. We have a lot of members who have been around for a long time, but we never hear from you. We would love to have you join in when possible too. Each of you are important. For you ARE the GAWARE List. You put the "ARE" IN GAWARE? <G> Okay, guess I've been at this computer too long. Thanks to each of you for your participation, and for just being here. Sharon
