if it werent for people like Sandra,I woul not know what to do or where to go,I am still facing my brick wall...I have Absolutely nothing to go on in my search for my Birth Family and its Origins...I have 4 clues...the Lindsey Name...there were 9 Children...and They were Born in Arkansas...and my GM's nicname was "Minky" Dotty

Dotty, I really do appreciate that. I needed encouragement too. I'm on oxygen around the clock and can't get to the Genealogical Society Center very often, at least not while I'm in Cardio-Pulmonary Rehab. So I communicate via computer. I really think you might want to contact Mr. Auvie A. Bailey. He had found my name in the Surname Directory of the South Carolina Genealogical Society and wrote to me via snail mail. I couldn't connect to his line and, as stated above, couldn't get to the research building anytime soon. But I had started to receive the postings to this list and knew there seemed to be some possible good connections. I hoped that perhaps by posting the data he sent, someone on this List might be able to contact him and help him and that might help all of us. I sent a letter to him stating this. I believe that in our efforts to discover our roots, we've all incorporated some erroneous data at times. I try to correct my errors as soon as I can prove there is an error. This isn't the only List with someone who believes that only "new" information should be posted. Unfortunately, many of the rest of us haven't acquired the "old" info yet, nor are we all familiar with the various sites available. So we just keep trying. I know of one List that has been inactive for months because of one nasty old man who believes himself to be the only "factual" repository for information on a particular surname. And those who know him are afraid of having an "hurtful" letter posted to them if they speak out. I simply wanted to help this person, Mr. Bailey, who was reaching out for help. So if you will email me directly at my given address, I will give you his mailing address. Perhaps, Dotty, he holds a key to your mystery. I truly do hope so for the sake of both of you. As we get older, too often memeories are all we have let to hold on to. I promise I will not forget you and if I can find anything that I suspect might help you, Dotty, I will contact you immediately. God bless you and again, thank you, sandiet Dotty wrote: > > if it werent for people like Sandra,I woul not know what to do or where > to go,I am still facing my brick wall...I have Absolutely nothing to go > on in my search for my Birth Family and its Origins...I have 4 > clues...the Lindsey Name...there were 9 Children...and They were Born in > Arkansas...and my GM's nicname was "Minky" > Dotty > > ============================== > Visit Ancestry.com for a FREE 14-Day Trial and enjoy access to the #1 > Source for Family History Online.
