I agree with Sandy. The information I find on the Internet and these E-mails is an invaluable tool to pinpoint new areas of research. I and the rest of the family researchers in my family have been at a brickwall for over 2 years with two of our ancestors. But thanks to some clues we recently discovered on great sites like GenWeb, Rootsweb, and the many newsletters such as this one we finally have a new area to research that looks extremely promising. Maybe we can finally find the documentation we have tried so hard and long to locate. Krys
