Hello Hope all of you had a nice Valentine's Day. We had a beautiful meeting Saturday. Sue Badeaux gave a great presentation on how to document your material. Doris & Dorothy did a beautiful job hosting, as usual. They had gotten the members to bring plenty of food, and they made their fantastic hot apple drink. (I love it.) We got a lot of business done and Chris will put it across the WPGHA mailing list ASAP. So, if you are a member of WPGHA and you haven't signed on the WPGHA mailing list yet, send a message to Jo Branch at <[email protected]> asking to be put on the WPGHA list. Don't forget to get your renewal in as the new year has started on Jan 1, and the first quarterly for the new year will be coming out around April 1, but we do the mailing lables about the middle of March. If you miss the mailing, the back issues for 1999 may be held until July to be mailed out with the regular mailing. Annette

I'm looking for information on Thomas Henry Heard and his family; wife Jennie, children Elvah, Winnie, Stafford (b.1905 Winn Parish). Need places & dates of birth for all family members for both 1900 and 1910 (not sure family was still in Winn in 1910). If anyone does lookups, please contact me. Many thanks, Annette Heard Shelton
