Hi Everyone: My name is Jeff Downing. I grew up near Losantville, IN, graduating from Union High School in 1975. I've been living in Dallas Texas since 1982, but retain ties to eastern Indiana, visiting a couple of times each year, or more if time permits. I am very interested in doing a couple of things: researching genealogical information on the Downing, Hunt and Wine families (all on my father's side: Jack Monroe Downing of Hagerstown, 1929-2001. My mother's (Clara June Mauk Downing) family is from Ohio, Kentucky and Wisconsin.). I would also be interested in doing individual cemetary inventory, taking pictures of tombstones, creating any finding aids, etc. I'm new at all of this, but am eager to help, even if much of it needs to be done long distance. If anyone would like to assign me a task, I'll be happy to work on it. Or, I am happy to begin asking questions on how to de research, and hope that viewers to this list will respond. I have very fond memories of Indiana, and miss it every day. Growing up near Losantville was, for me, the best place to grow up in the world. It was quiet, safe, and nurturing. Hope to hear from some of you. Maybe even some classmates! Thanks Jeff _________________________________________________________________ Frustrated with dial-up?
