Just a suggestion - in both replies and inquiries, wouldn't it be more productive for all of us to list dates, counties/areas, and any other pertinent or relevant information - including any sources, etc that we have? I'm trying to be a responsible list member, however I find it difficult to offer a free look-up service or expend precious time and energy when I only have one or two names and maybe a state or a year to go by Example: "Looking for a John James of Florida, who married a Jane Doe "....this doesn't give me much to go on if I have the time and the resources to do a look-up for someone on the list...However, if I happen to have a genealogy book or two, or some family sheets and the requestor lists like this: (example) " I am trying to find a John James, South Florida, possibly Miami - 1876 to 1880, information has him married to a Jane Doe in XYZ County in June of 1879 . " Now I would be inclined to check my Florida resources, as well as both surnames to see if I couldn't help my fellow list member....I think most of us would try, given this information see what i mean? mary http://www.mcintyre-family.com
