There have been several lists that I have been on, and usually the "reply" is determined by the listowner. Thus, I do not want to appear too aggressive, but I do not want to break a Golden Rule either. I get in trouble for that! Today, I received several messages and will go through them all. I am also aware of others who are on this list, great researchers in genealogy. When you submit your reply or inquiry, maybe it should be sent to the entire list. I vote for that, anyway! The listowner may have to determine this. There are people from other countries on this list, as well--just waiting for some"bait" to help someone. I am appreciative and love to get your replies and inquiries, but it would go faster and farther, with more help from the entire list. I have seen these miracles on other lists, too, but not as quickly come to an answer as in Minnesota. Sending more snow!! Ardell Sortum Drube
