Good morning everyone on this very hot & muggy Sunday, 2nd day of summer! (I'm in Chicago) Summer is my favorite season as the seeds that I have planted in my garden burst into new plants, my bulbs become beautiful flowers, my windows are open to hear the birds talking to each other in the trees, and best of all....I don't have to wear a coat (or lug one through the airports! Bad enough being searched each week at the airports for nothing! ). As of this a.m. there are 167 members of the list (combined list modes). Just think...if each one of us would write a few paragraphs about the ancestors we are a descendant of, or just researching...what a wealth of info we would be reading in the next few weeks! Not just a roll-call, but better than that. Take the time to write what your "brick wall" is and what / how you have researched but still haven't made any progress. Out of our 167 members, surely someone will come up with a suggestion to guide in another research direction! Have a great day everyone! Enjoy each moment as it happens..... Can anyone share the missing descendant's of Dillard Hazelrigg? (See what I do have below) (I'm not a direct descendant, but I research all lines of RENICK.
