Messages have been sparse on this list for several weeks. Perhaps a note to our newer subscribers is in order. IF YOU ARE NEWER TO THIS LIST, AND HAVE NOT YET POSTED YOUR FAMILY LINE, WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO SO. There are several subscribers that are recording information on ALL the people mentioned on this list... consequently, one of these folks MAY be able to place your family and connect you to your unknown ancestor! Normally, messages to this list are more numerous than we've seen recently. One reason may be that many of our subscribers have been monitering this list since its origination in 1997. We have shared much data over these months and we have discussed many different family lines, mostly here is the U.S. Basically, we've told all we know! If no one asks questions, we don't know what to write about! Please consider posting a query to this group, especially if you've never written about your oldest known relative! Remember, we are open to discussion on ANY KEIM (sic) family, ANYWHERE! And, thanks in advance for ANY information you can add. Cindy Kimes List administrator
