Ok I have heard alot about the problems here. I am new at this. I doit as a hobby and for the future Howells. Please dont take this wrong, but its starting to get annoying. Lets stop the bickering and have fun and learn who we are. I can understand everyone's complaints. Take note and drive on. I have only found to possible connections to my tree. (and they weren't even direct to me, cousins of cousins) I for one would like Jim to continue and if someone can give him a hand or help guide him then so be it, help him. He appears to be a kind and caring gentleman, who only means well. I am not blaming any one everyone is initialed to their opinion so please give him a hand. HE IS TRIING VERY HARD!!!
