And, 1. another resource is to author a query (question) for the St Clair Gen Web Project page - instructions here http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilstclai/queries.htm Remember the who, what, when (at least an approx year), the 'where' is assumed to be in St. Clair County. (and see samples on the Jan 2004 - Dec 2006 link) 2. if you would like to share family information with others on a particular St. Clair County family, you may send a list of surnames * you are actively working on* to the coordinator for posting here with your email address. http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilstclai/surname.htm Just as Bobbie pointed out, you will only get replies if your email is set up to let them through, so if you have automatic blocks, you have to 'allow' email with certain Subject lines or whatever so the response gets through. An alternative is to set up a free web based email account like one at www.yahoo.com for anything where your email address would appear on a web page. You just have to be sure to check it periodically. Diane
