Hi Rusty, I'm an only child, my mother, father and all other's have passed away. No one in the family but me, was ever interested in our "roots". I was blessed with only one granddaughter and the least I can leave her is "her roots". As long as I can remember my mother told me, "Don't ever let anyone or anything break your spirit".... Rusty, I feel that my spirit, has a little of all my family before me also. Yours does too, that's why you've searched for 18 years. Thanks for sharing and we all care, Judith
