Please take the time to read this. Some of us are sitting back thinking about how we can help. As genealogists we can be of help to those who have lost their family history and research. No, we can't replace those irreplaceable heirlooms and keepsakes, but you might be able to help someone rebuild their family history and replace their many years of research. I have joined. This is strictly a voluntary thing. Just delete if you're not interested. Take care and have a good day!
