This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/YQw.2ACEB/174.1.2.1.1 Message Board Post: OK, then--so here we go (for me, again!) First, please write to me at [email protected] I get mail easier that way and it's easier to forward messages to other Liddell researchers when that becomes necessary. And sometimes, we get into things that are best not revealed on a public board, not that I'm aware of "black sheep" or "horse theives" in our lines. Second, when you write me at my email address, let me know if you reside north of the Mason-Dixon line and if your immediate ancestors did as well. We ARE all kin, north and south alike, but the southern lines are much better worked out, it seems. It would be best if you would at least provide me with the name of your state. Third, state in a nutshell, where you are in your research and how much you know--or suspect--about your ancestors. And, fourth, and I have to ask this, and I expect an honest answer. What race are you? Jim
