Read this, this a.m. on the ADKINS list.... J. <>< - ---------------------------------------------------------------- Saw this in the paper ... Lanjaron, Spain: Tongue planted firmly in cheek, the mayor has banned death. He feels the local cemetery is too crowded for a soul to get decent eternal rest. So the 4,000 residents of this village in Granada province should remain alive while municipal officials shop for land to house a new graveyard. Mr. Rubio issued an edict last week ordering people "to take utmost care of their health so they do not die until town hall takes the necessary steps to acquire land suitable for our deceased to rest in glory. It is hereby forbidden to die in Lanjaron," the edict added. Rubio says the ban on death is his response to politicians pestering him for a quick fix. ==== ADKINS Mailing List ==== Visit the ADKINS Email web page: http://fly.hiwaay.net/~jjadkins/genealogy/mail.html

Hi all.... I have a very nice picture of Mr. Harvey Mc Cain and I really don't know who he belongs too..... He is a handsome dude... Does any one know who he was married to? His name was written on the back of the picture by my grandmother, so figure that he was of some relation. Or perhaps he was a wanna-be suitor... as her marriage was prearranged he would not have been a beau. Jeannie <><

Hi, I am looking for someone searching an Alexander family that may have lived in Nicholas Co. ca 1821. I am specifically looking for Jane Alexander. She would have been approx. 44 yrs old in 1821. I do not know if Alexander is a name by marriage or if this was her maiden name. If there is anyone that has knowledge of any Alexander that may have a connection to this woman, please email me. I am trying to break down a 'brickwall'. Thanks, Carolyn in KY
