Hello to all. Well the donation deadline has come and gone. I very thankful to all who participated. I must admit that you out did any expectation I may have had :-)! If you have sent a donation and I have not sent you confirmation of its arrival please let me know so I can wait another couple of days before sending to rootsweb. I'm going to wait 48 hours to see if anyone sends me e-mail saying "it's in the mail" and if I don't hear anything I'll be sending the donation out on Friday. Again a great big thanks to all who helped out. Here are the final totals: CASS ANNOUNCEMENTS: 2.00 Only has two members other than myself :-) DANIEL: 85.00 FORTUNE: 37.00 HEDRICK: 10.00 HOWELL: 57.00 LONG: 37.00 OREAR: 15.00 SANDERS: 92.00 STONE: 30.00 STORY: 36.00 FOR A GRAND TOTAL OF:::::::::::::::: $401.00 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a question for some of you more experienced genealogist--Have you ever sent off for SS records for someone who is deceased and if so how long did it take for the copies to get to you? I was on-line this evening and saw on a web page that it could take several months :-( If you have had experience in this area please let me know how it went. Til next time, Dana list owner
