Thank-you Tom. I do the same thing...scan over names that don't ring a bell and pay attention to those that do. By reading other peoples information even though at first glance it did not seem to pertain to my family, I found I was related to a lot of people researching in Greene County as well as Macoupin and Morgan. Karen Barnard (who helps a lot of people who use this list serve) and I share some common ancestors..I just found that out recently. She was my classmate in Nursing School years ago. I have not seen her for years although I hope to see her sometime this year.
