Well, hello to everyone. I am just sending a quick message as I am preparing to go to San Saba for the Harkey/Taylor Reunion being held this weekend. I am very excited about the chance to meet some of our families in the area. While I am on line, I just want to say that if anyone is in the Tucson area at any time, please give me a call, stop by and just know you are always welcome. I have found so much family I didn't know I had, I am anxious to meet you all! I will get a note off when I return and let everyone know what I have learned about our family. I have had a great time through the net and I think that without it, there must be agonizing hours spent looking for something that someone else already has!! I will gladly share any information I have at this time...my GEDCOM has about 1950+ names and I will gladly share a copy with anyone who sends their address to me...I have found there are problems sending it through the email..I was told it is too large and so sometimes it gets distorted..alas, we do need snail mail at times...I would love a GEDCOM from anyone who wants to share.. Laura Branton 4032 South Grand Palm Drive Tucson, Arizona 85730 1-520-790-7639 By the way, for those of you I haven't already communicated with, my Harkey connection is through William J. Brigham who married Martha Jane Harkey (from the Isaac Matthias lineage)...their daughter Katie Alice Brigham married James Allen Haynes...their daughter Mattie Ethel Haynes married Buford Baxter Branton...their son James Buford Branton married Lois Virginia Tucker...my parents. Hope all is well with everyone and I will talk to you all after Tuesday. Be sure to send addresses if you want a GEDCOM...Laura
