This is my first responding to the List...I have patiently (and not so patiently) waited for that 'snowballed' mail to pass so I could read some interesting tips and stories on people finding their ancestors. I agree with George and others who have little time to wait through trivia to get to the 'exciting' parts.

Anyway, have a happy day in the snowball heaven, Jean and snowball fans. Joan call-me@mail.swbell.net wrote: > > George, > > I have to agree with Jean. Personal messages should go privately.
