Jane, I had an experience meeting someone who had helped me on the Cook County/Chicago List. She lives near Chicago and visited the cemetery where my grandfather is buried and sent me information and pictures. We corresponded back and forth. Then last summer, when I had a chance to spend a day in Chicago, she met me and drove me to the Church where my g.parents were married in 1893. We drove by the old house where my mother was born. She's a nurse and was able to take a long lunch hour...even gave me a tour of the city. Some of my relatives thought I was balmy to meet up with a person that I didn't really know. But I felt that I did know her, just through the Lists. I find that people who are interested in genealogy are just kind by nature and want to help others when possible.
