I would think if you don't get a reply that means no one can help at this time. This is my first time on a list and I've seen a lot of stuff that I couldn't help with so I just delete that message and assume the person who can help will. I've also seen some things that aren't worth spending all my time responding to and I let those go also. I am on this list looking for "tips" as a new geneologist and I want info on who is available for lookups. As a "newbee" I'm still in the "I want, I need" mode but the other side of the coin is "I'm willing to help". Hang in there! Sincerely!!!!
