Hello everyone, Because of many illnesses in my family for the past several years, I have haphazardly done genealogy when I could find time, in fact still that way, my mom has Alzhmiers, my mother in law finally died a year ago from it and my father in law is 93, in a wheelchair and with all the problems of his age, and now his mind is starting to go as well. So if I don't say thank you or answer, just bear with me. I decided I had to clean up some of my mess and I'm doing great, but found I have emails with so much information dating back to 99 that I have never gotten entered in the computer, corrections additions etc and that stack is litterly a contineous feed paper box full, so roughly 2000/2500 sheets of paper. Then there is about a box and a half full of just down loads that people have sent me. I have started thru the email, it took me all day to do 30 pages, but straigtned out several families with all your help, now I'm hoping that someone else hasn't come along later and said this is wrong, but you all know how that goes. And in the mean time the emails have opened up many more questions, that's an eek! I have enough to do, so will hold the questions for later. But I just wanted you all to know how much I appreciate all of you. Most of you I am related to somewhere along the line by blood or marriage, sometimes it gets really convoluted but it's there. It's wonderful they way you all kick in to help the rest of us. So Love to you all, Maggi (for those of you who don't know, if there is an Eads, Simpson, Kegans, Burtcher(by various spellings) or Hayden, and you know they are related to everyone, that's me)
