You know, that is why I like family History Searching, looking back over my family history, atleast those I could find, (some are still under the rock pile), I believe that there is NOTHING I can do, not do or think about doing that my family has NOT done before me. Isn't the history of our bygone years great. Joe Jamie Hald wrote: > Going back that far I've found Lady Godiva in my line too!
