I enjoy genealogy not just as a means to my answer my personal questions as to "from whence came I" but in the historical contexts as well. I get pleasure when I realize that I have helped someone (even if just a suggestion) in their quest. I appreciate General Methods - almost every message is relative to helping someone solve problems they encounter whether it be "which software is best", "I can't find ggg . . . . . Any suggestions?", etc. "Help" is not always providing specific genealogical data. I have learned much from GM discussions over the past several years! If I have failed to thank all of you properly, I do so now. Sharon "Sharon Simnacher" <[email protected]>
