I must say a great big thank you to all those on the NEBRRoots-L subscriber list for all the help that has been so graciously given to me. Because of you, (and you know who you are) I have found my grandfather and know where to go for the rest of the information that I need. This is the best genealogy gift that I have ever received, and it all came within 24 hours of my request. You are great!
