Another minor success! It pays to advertise, as they always say. I've had my genealogy info on my personal web site for some time, and it just paid off. A fellow sent me email asking me some questions about my great-grandfather, and his brothers. To make a long story short, we exchanged a few emails and discovered that were are 3rd cousins! His great-grandfather was brother to my great-grandfather. Other interesting tidbits came out, too, such as, these two brothers married two sisters! One of my great-grandfathers' daughters was named after her aunt (his great-grandfathers' wife), and one of his g-grandfathers' sons was named after my great-grandfather. Well, sorry if this bores you, but it was pretty exciting for me. So, it does pay to advertise! Good hunting! -- Robert +--------------------------------------------+ | qcsi-Systems * Houston * Texas | | http://www.concentric.net/~rlaird/ | | (713) 260-6586 work (713)467-4135 fax | | (713) 503-2949 cell/pager | +--------------------------------------------+ ==== LAIRD Mailing List ==== Laird Resource Page: http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/l/a/LAIRD/
