Dear John, Perhaps you would like to share his name and years that he was there. Although my filing cabinet has email back to November 1999 and you say you joined this list 3 days ago, I can only find email from you on the 2 of January 2000 and that email is only flames. No where have I seen you ask for whom you are looking for. Perhaps you don't know correct procedure for a genealogy list. It is NOT a MESSAGE BOARD. Somehow I think you are pulling our legs. If you would like to present the name of your great grandfather who was the village blacksmith perhaps some of us could help you with your genealogy. Perhaps some of us are related and have information you may be interested in. This is a great list and people are very helpful. We are waiting to hear from you. Jazz
