I returned home last night after being away for six days. There were 174 Itawamba list messages. Yes, I took the time to count them because my husband and I had a bet about how many messages we would have. Anyway, it's great to have so much activity on the list. But most of the messages don't pertain to my family. I usually enjoy reading all of the messages, but since there are so many now, could I repeat someone else's request and ask that you place your surnames in the subject line? I sure don't mean to squelch the fun. When I get the chance, I'll be posting my 1850 Itawamba census reading as it pertains to my surnames of interest. I don't expect you'll all be interested in my names. Well, back to the list. I only have 114 more messages to read. Jo Carolyn
