Cary,  Thanks for the encouragement. Hope you are better soon. We'll miss seeing you. And thatk you to everyone that has helped me so far.  Unfortunately, when researching my Mother's family, I found that the information in the LDS library was incorrect. Not somwthing that happens often and I had the documentation to correct it. But it does take awhile.                                                        Thanks again,                                                           Nona NHR --- On Fri, 7/9/10, Virginia Nuta <[email protected]> wrote: From: Virginia Nuta <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [GERMANNA] Nona's recent Rector request To: [email protected] Date: Friday, July 9, 2010, 11:26 AM We'll miss you, Cary. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cary Anderson" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, July 09, 2010 11:11 AM Subject: [GERMANNA] Nona's recent Rector request > Nona's request re her ancestry and her last request "How?" came at the > right time.  I had just returned from my afternoon of volunteering in the > Northwest Arkansas Gen.
