Nel and Group, Some of you on this list live in the vicinity of East Texas and might be able to scrap up enough coins to get enough gas to come to Lufkin to come research with us at FREE Gen. Workshop on Saturday morning, June 7. See details below. This is the most active list to which I subscribe. Gas went from $3.68 to $3.75 yesterday in a matter of hours. I am still looking to prove the parents of one of my 2-great grandmothers, Frances _?_ b. c. 1842, who was living in the household of Alfred Hatcher b.c. 1800 d.c. 1868 Edgefield District, South Carolina, on the 1850 and 1860 census of Edgefield District, South Carolina. A suit in equity in the 1870's claimed that he had no children. Vivian Cates, Alto, Texas http://www.inu.net/vcates FREE . . . FREE . . . FREE . . .

Ladies should wear clothing with pockets and/or a "VERY SMALL fanny pack" for the essentials of keys, wallets, ID's, change for copy machine (takes quarters), etc. as locker space is very limited. New beginning researchers are especially welcome to attend. It would be extremely helpful, but not absolutely necessary, if just beginning researchers, could have at least one surname and a general location where their family lived in 1930 or earlier, particularly if their family was not living in Angelina County in 1930. If the June research event is successful, another one will be held on Saturday, August 2, 2008, and perhaps in October. October is being observed as Family History Month. List members, PLEASE pass this notice/announcement along to other e-mail lists or e-mail groups where members might have an interest in attending this absolutely FREE workshop. Vivian T.
