AMEN!!!! Had a major breakthrough in one of my Greene Co families in the last two issues. Because of distance may make a meeting every two years. Like Jo, when a new issue arrives, everything stops until it has been read cover to cover. Without question, the quarterly is one of the best in the state and it really doesn't matter if a person is one of your ancestors. The Surname Book is labor intensive by unsung volunteers and personally, I consider it a perk of membership and wish it to remain that way.
