Isn't there an url for the U.S. that one can click on the state, and then when the state pops up, the counties are separated on the state map? I've lost it.. does anybody have it?

I also got a wonderful surprise it was from a fellow lister a Easter Basket full of daffodils and handmade easter eggs . It is beautiful. This person helped me one night, and we became fast friends. I don't know her personnaly but feel as if I do. She was with me thru my husbands hospital stays,and thru his death. She has sent me two wonderful dolls,and I want everyone to know how great she has been. Thank heavens for this list and the internet for allowing me to meet and chat with this wonderful lady. Thank you Carol!!!! Claudia J.Williams

I have letters my maternal grandmother wrote and some my mother wrote and there is such a similarity. The comment below about inheriting characteristics of the hand of a parent made me remember the following observation. At a fairly early age, I developed some osteoarthritis in my fingers. My doctor asked if my mother had it and I replied no, although I think my hands look much like hers. When I brought home boxes of pictures after my parents died, I scanned a couple of pictures of my mom's mother and grandmother. Upon enlarging them on the monitor, I saw not only that I had the hands of my mother, my grandmother and my great grandmother, but that the grandmothers both appear to have had arthritis in their fingers! I've learned lots of little details by enlarging photos on the monitor. Catherine joan and norm rusk wrote: > How about hands? I think that people's hands are just like one of their > parents.

Deloris, Wasn't it generally too cold to have dinner on the ground on Easter? Lanita I'm always late. My ancestors arrived on the JUNE flower.

Claudia, what a HOOT you are!! That scratchy netting around your neck instantly reminded me of those blasted starchy can cans... YUCK!!! THAT was a miserable Easter for me when my mother was determined that I needed to wear one... OOOOOOOOHHHHH, makes me itch just to think about it!!

Anybody show any John M. DICKEY and Josephine DICKEY on any cemetery info? They were in Oregon Co. in 1880.. lost after that.. Thanks for your help! Lanita I'm always late. My ancestors arrived on the JUNE flower.

Ladies and Gentlemen , I just would like to clarify that I am not 65, a decade away, opps, almost a decade this month I hit another birthday. Hey girls, Remember the Easter Hats that tied under the neck with that infernal startched scratchy net, Yikes, What torment. Mine was a brimmed pink straw , with dainty flowers and lots of pretty netting, and tied under the neck. The most miserable Easter I ever had. LOL. Claudia J.Williams

Hands, oh yes, I have my mom's and grandmothers, especially mom's including the arthiritis , which they both passed to me. Weird, what we do pass on Now another thing that amazes me is mannerisms> My son lost his father by age 3, yet everyday I see his father in him,by his mannerisms, he physically takes after me, poor boy. He also developed ways of his stepfather but that would be from being around him. He does not remember his biological father. My daughter is the spitting image, as she growns older, of my grandmother ESPECIALLY, the mannerisms.Amazing. Claudia J.Williams

Each Easter, which at this particular time, would have been about my 4th, my daddy made a big production of making a nest out of grass and twigs for the Easter Bunny to leave my Easter eggs in several nest in fact. This particular Sat. before Easter it was a terrible storm, I mean a gully washer , and I told Daddy he had to build the nest, no amount of conjoling would satisfy me that the Easter Bunny would come anyway. Finally , knowing I was broken hearted (and spoiled) he put on his rain gear and went out and built the nest and brought one in to show me. Gosh,I hadn't thought of that in years!!! My daddy was so special and spoiled me rotten, Yes, I was an only child and grandchild. LOL Claudia J.Williams

Yes we do take on such things...my father has the oddest fore fingers...a bit short and stubby and slightly...ever so slightly twisted inward and double jointed....guess who else has those fingers? ;-) and that is why they call it genealogy ! And now I have a chocolate Easter egg calling my name. The Easter bunny left them hanging on our carport entrance door. We have no clue who brought them. Gena Gates Lally Genealogy = irritating the living and disturbing the dead!

I was born in 1936. My early easters were spent in Church that morning, then a group of people with lots of kids would meet at Williams Spring for dinner on the ground ( no picnic table, it was definitely on the ground) And after the meal the kids would hunt easter eggs. They were eggs, we didn't have any candy eggs. You can only eat so many eggs. Williams Spring is located east of Alton on Hwy 160.

The Easter I remember best was in Iowa during WWII. Sugar was rationed; so, we had very few sweets. My mother made a trail of jelly beans from my bedroom to a table downstairs. On the table was a plate of fudge wrapped in a new jump rope. Absolutely spectacular!! I can still remember how the fudge tasted. Joan Griffin Rusk

How about hands? I think that people's hands are just like one of their parents. Mine are just like my dad's: fingers that are more square than long with little fingers that do not come up to the joint of my ring finger.

Happy Easter!! We all have Easter traditions or memories,...are they basically the same? Please tell us about your Easter tradition or memories you had growing up. Easter at our house started the day before, when we colored eggs. We were poor, so many times we divided a dozen eggs 4 ways [4 kids].. We had our own easter baskets, and Sun., after church, we would hide and seek the eggs in the house, in the yard, or whereever, until the adults got SICK of hiding them!! Many times we had new easter outfits, but not every year. One year, my sister, mother and I had matching dresses.. that's okay when you're young, but I was a sophmore in HS and it was definitely NOT COOL!!! Mom would have her easter hat, and gloves, but I could never understand the whys!! While others had the dark chocolate bunnies in the baskets, I had to have white chocolate.. still do.. Our baskets would be filled with candies, our colored eggs, our bunny, and then some small 'gift'.. my favorite was the year when I got my first eyelash curler.. I was in H.S. We always had a basket, no matter how old we were... until we were grown and out on our own... Funny what you think of, when you remember back!! What was your Easter like? I especially want to hear from those who are.... uh.... over 65.. when you were young, what was the world like? What was your holiday like? Tell us about it!! If you know an Easter story from your parents, grandparents, etc., even better!! Let's hear it!! Lanita I'm always late. My ancestors arrived on the JUNE flower.
