Dear Rusty, Don't give up just yet, I have been searching for two "branches" of my family for the last 20 years...and there is still one that just dropped off the face of the earth after having conceived 3 children!!!!! In the last two weeks, I have found two of these "branches" by the kindness of my friends on the internet...one was just a middle name of the person I was researching, the other found my quearie in South Africa and e-mailed me with the address of a "cousin" right here in my own backyard! So, sit back, relax, and give it a little breather...I was getting frustrated with my cousin who would just click on her computer, and EVERYTHING that she was looking for would come pouring out of her printer...I was really beginning to hate her! Hang in there! Diane
