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/ ----------------------- Internet Header -------------------------------- Sender: LAIRD-L-request@rootsweb.com Received: from bl-14.rootsweb.com (bl-14.rootsweb.com [204.212.38.30]) by hpamgaad.compuserve.com (8.8.8/8.8.8/HP-1.8) with ESMTP id XAA28657 for <105000.3005@compuserve.com>; Thu, 19 Aug 1999 23:57:38 -0400 (EDT) Received: (from slist@localhost) by bl-14.rootsweb.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id UAA26982; Thu, 19 Aug 1999 20:57:04 -0700 (PDT) Resent-Date: Thu, 19 Aug 1999 20:57:04 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <3.0.5.32.19990819224835.00a9be80@pop3.concentric.net> X-Sender: rlaird@pop3.concentric.net X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0.5 (32) Date: Thu, 19 Aug 1999 22:48:35 -0500 Old-To: LAIRD-L@rootsweb.com From: Robert Laird <rlaird@cavediver.com> In-Reply-To: <001c01bee3f8$709ec340$a68257d1@p3f7d8> References: <bc8089e4.24dcf6b4@aol.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Subject: [LAIRD-L] another minor success!
