    3. I have enjoyed the roll call, even tho I didn't find out anything concrete about my Rodgers/Sanders family. I thought I would give a success story from another list that I subscribe to: I went searching in Craighead County, Arkansas list for the name of Rogers, which is how it is spelled in Arkansas. In one of the messages, I found someone looking for her grandfather, who was my uncle. My uncle's children had asked me to be on the lookout for their sister they had never seen, as she was from their father's first marriage and her mother had remarried and taken her to California. When I found the message, I emailed the lady, thinking her email address may have changed, but it hadn't and she answered. Her mother, the lost sister, was living and is 72 years old. I called my cousins in Arkansas and told them about their lost sister and to make a long story short, the author on the list and her mother flew into Arkansas for a week's visit with their lost family. The lost sister had been raised as an only child and she had a lot of questions about her father, etc. The family in Arkansas live in Greene County at this time, but had lived in Craighead County at an earlier date. We had an enjoyable family reunion while the family from California were here. There were write-up's in three newspapers of the area and one of those write-ups is on the rootsweb site for Greene County, Arkansas. This uncle of mine and his siblings, including my father, were from Pontotoc County, Mississippi, so I still have hopes of finding out more about my Pontotoc County ancestors.
