Dear Ginny, thank you somuch for all the work you have done with the old site and this new one. All though I have had little to contribute up to now Ihave connected with some very helpful people. It is so wonderful to have a more complete picture of our ancestors lives, wherer they lived and how that was for them. Thank you so much for enabling that gift.
