Hi David: Welcome to our list. We are pretty much a friendly helping bunch here ;) If you would give us some specifics on your Pioneers, perhaps there is somebody who could find them for you. I know we have many members here who are generous with their time and efforts. In fact, the genealogy of Joseph Smith has been submitted to the list just this spring. You can find it in the archives or the original poster will probably forward it on to you. Let us know when you get it. If you don't, I have most of the digests for quite sometime and can go back and find it for you. Give us some dates and let's have some fun! Not 'date' wise, but ancestor wise ;) Terri At 11:37 PM 5/9/98 -0400, David C.
