This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/FO.2ADI/362.2.1.1 Message Board Post: I hope I didn't discourage you totally, especially since you have other connections to Jamestown. I just found it interesting that the Jamestown Society has a much tighter process for membership, that's all. I guess I decided not to pursue a membership because my only connection, as far as I know, is Stephen Hopkins and also because I live too far from Virginia to participate. Maybe the Virginia list could give you more or better information. Karen
