Our site is a success because we try to help each other. It brings families together. We dont just discard the information because it doesn't pertain to our line. Any one that finds information pertaining to another ones line posts it. Isn't that what family is,helping each other. We have quite a few different lines on our site. We all put in time and hard work to keep our site going. Any one we find that is researching that line is asked to join, and any time information is posted everyone recieves an email showing the new post.Any way it was just a suggestion. If someone doesn't wont to join then they dont have to.
