Your inquiry was a legitimate one, Marilyn. I have been occupied elsewhere and haven't worked on my genealogy so hadn't accessed my account where Mr. O'Brien's reports are sent. I just assumed his messages were waiting for me and I'd play catch-up as soon as I could. Would it be rude to phone the Independence, Missouri, library's genealogy section and ask about him? I'm sure he's very well known and recognized there!!! Joyce, Herington, Kansas [email protected] wrote: Well, I tried it on my nickle also and got the same reply, only Yahoo's more polite than AOL. User unknown- well, not exactly-Wonder where we go from here? Stirred up a hornets nest didn't I with my query first part of week.
