Thank you Larry. I appreciate your candidness. In just the little while that I have been searching for my family lineage, I have been very confused with some of the info on the Net. I have written for death & birth certificates, and have talked to some people I found on the Net, that are relatives of mine that I never knew I had. You are so right about misleading and conflicting facts. I will take your advise and will follow through. Are there people on this message board that are searching Looneys from the Kentucky area? Again, thank you for your help. Barbara
