Hello everyone! I thought I had best respond to Clyde's inquiry about my whereabouts, before rumors started flying that I had abandoned the ship, never to be heard from again. I've been here, just not as active as I was, after deciding that I needed to regroup and figure out the best way for me to continue to help with the Jessamine Site. I'm here for the long haul, Clyde!! It looks like Clyde and all the Jessamine County members have been working hard o the cemetery projects, among other things and I am thrilled with the progress that has been made. Being here in Kansas, so far away, it is difficult to help them physically, so I have to come up with alternatives ideas for assisting not only them, but also all of you who are interested in Jessamine County history and genealogy. Of course, I am always available to do the cemetery look-ups and share whatever other info I may have. As many of you know, my work has included quite a number of Jessamine families, most of whom are included in my own ancestry and I am always open to queries. I do hope to be able to help with the planned Historical Society web-site in some fashion, but I'm afraid my limited technical skills prevent me from actually putting it together. Once Clyde and George have figured out how best to go about it, I will be available to help in whatever capacity I can. My first love has always been the old obits from the early Jessamine Journals and I do hope to be able to share more of those with all of you in the near future and believe that those obits definately need to be included on the web-site when it is up and running. What a wonderful resource those are to those of us hunting. So much information included in those few paragraphs. I will be making a trip back to Jessamine County in November and hope to get to the library to copy more of them from the old microfilm and will, of course, share all of them with you. It is a very tedious process, trying to find them on those old microfilms, but I will try to come back with as many as I possibly can. As long as the quarters for the copies hold out, I will keep on copying. I'd like to again commend Clyde, George, Howard Curry and all the others who have worked so hard on those cemeteries, I can hardly wait to get back there to see the fruits of their labors. Of course, I will also check to make sure they didn't accidently dig up one of my grandaddies. I've seen that group in action and, believe me, anything is possible. My best to you all, Shelia Bruner-Ramos
