Hello Elizabeth, I very much wanted to drop you a note, your having taken the time to write me a most kind email. So, here 'tis.

I imagine Ron Lindsay, or someone, in conjunction with the DNA project at clanlindsey.com, will come calling (electronically) to take you up on that offer. Your original idea of tracking Linds*ys "from any source with the goal of eventually linking them all together" is one that is shared by all of those participating in the DNA project. Maybe, with all of the new advances of the Information Age, life will have a tougher time getting in our collective way. > > So, I greatly admire those of you who keep lots of names on your computers, > and can help others.

But, as a man on the Academy Awards said last Sunday, it seems so odd to be noted simply for doing what our mothers and fathers had always taught us was the decent thing to do. > Philip - keep writing and letting us know what you find.

There are some more things of interest afoot and I will make sure they are where they will meet your eye.
