March either comes in like a lamb and goes out like a lion, or just the opposite. At least that's how the old saying goes. It may be true for weather predictions, but not for genealogy! In March there were a "lions-share" of wonderful contributions from generous researchers across the country. Sharing feels so good, you'll "roar like a lion". The March volunteers know the feeling ...... our thanks to each of them for their generosity. Won't you look through your piles of accumulated family records and share obits, bio's, photos, naturalization records, etc. with your fellow-researchers? Contributions are always appreciated.
