I have to quickly tell you of my summer- with trying to get the "bad" beams out of my eye, I decided to help the older , no, any non-computer members with their genealogy. One sister had 251 names...I put it into PAF, did 5/6 names at the DC temple then got some of her end of lines into GENFORUM. I had put some of my end of lines in too, but hers came back in about 10 days... with 13 pages of names and references...! then we got another reply with 2 more pages... feeling frustrated I started to reopen my pages and work on my Burdick quest- just my great grandfather to me and all the cousins... I had just told my husband that I had over 100 cousins of my grandpa and grandpa Burdick, when he checked the emails.... I had looked for his lines through Canada and read some of the Arcadian sites- the Cyr and Langlois (Longley) names are there but no connections.. But someone had checked my GENFORUMS and wrote me of Laura Louise Hawes, my great grandmother- Lyman Burdick's MOM!!! well, if I get her data researched then I connect.... Long story shorted- went to LDS-History Center in Loudonville, NY- my 2 yr old didn't want to be there..we left drove to Grafton, NY- Town Clerk- no records there... went back home and went to Florida, MA with a cousin- office closed- walked two cemeteries and found over 30 connections to verify her names that were written with no references on them!!! Still I have no facts on Laura, but I'm so busy doing these other two lines that's ok!! I'm busy enough with the recording of them and now today I finally have a court date for Oct. 30 instead of June 1999 for the last time into court over my first divorce (he left in 1981)... The Lord keeps us busy when we need to be... I love it..! Thanks for your discussions and kind words... It has kept me going... Laurie in MA Researching main lines of: Biskup, Burdick, Hendrix, Longley, Muggle (Mogul) mostly in Mass, NYork, and Vermont Some of the rest in NY and VT are: Simpson, Thompson and Johnson.
