Brenda of the Civil War data base, I tried to access your data base looking for my ancestors but it only gave me part of the alphabet, i.e. looking for Newell, I only got to Nee and then could go no further in my searches. Also, on the free searches thru Ancestry.com I found that each time I tried to do a search I got the window stating I needed to redo my membership. I thought the searches were free, but, alas, they are no long free with Ancestry. I do not have the funds to join this year but apparently can't access any of the sites, free or not. Margaret I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free and I won't forget the men who died who gave that right to me and I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today cause there ain't no doubt I love this land, God Bless AMerica. by L E E G R E E N W O O D _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
