To you fine gentlemen who have escalated the chatter lately. I have thoroughly enjoyed your bantering and the "slipped in" info in your emails! I'm a somewhat new listee and was curious as to the amount of digests being sent from this list! Glad to hear it's not the usual way things happen! I am interested as to how one gets the elderly people in their family to begin speaking about their "bushwackers, mafiosos etc" that have belonged in our family tree? Thanks and Merry Christmas, Michele Ruggeri-Johnson
