Hello, I get e-mails from people saying I have been doing research 20 or 30 years and long before computers. Also I hear how much money they have spent, and how many endless hours they have put in to there research.How many places they had to travel to and all such things to get there research.I think all should thank God as you were blessed with the time, money, health to do it all. I also stated long before computers I used to iron clothers for a lady to buy my roll of stamps 2 boxes of envelopes and if I was lucky a document of some kind.My day job has to support my 3 children. My family moved out here before I was born and alll the rest sayed in the south. A fire took all we had when I was a child and all of our elders in the family died when I was young except my mom who is also gone now. The wonder of who my family were and what they looked like is what started me on research. I have met people in all my family lines that have alot of old family pictures and documents and I have asked them to share at my cost or to just scan and send to me. I also get they don't have the health, time or something or they just don't return my e-mails. Dose this hurt my heart or make me mad of course it dose.But if I can save anyone some time, money or hurt feelings, then I have been blessed. Barbara eor@saber.net
