First of all I would like to tell Keith how wonderful it is to see you up and back among us. We missed you and hope you take it slow and easy as you do these lookups. Thank you, too, for all you do for others. To Gary James searching the name Roberts. My great great aunt was Adelia A. Hardesty Roberts James. If this is a name in your family, would love to see if we might have a connection. Adelia first married George Roberts, who was killed in the Civil War. They had 4 children. She then married Josiah James in Louisa County and I believe they had 7 children. Verna May Atkinson, IL. Alone we can do little, together we can accomplish much. ....Helen Keller http://www.rootsweb.com/~iawayne/index.htm Gary James wrote: > > Keith/Connie > I, for one, deeply appreciate your offer -- and the fact that you have so > laboriously maintained the "index cards" you mentioned in your post over > the years for the benefit of others. -- Not too many people this day and > age are as benevolent with their time on this old earth.
