I use the internet mostly for locating cousins & other family members although I have used some information from sources that are out there as I am not able to get to that state or county to search.Roy, you are right that we still have to dig through the dust and the dirt to hunt for any clues, but the internet has put cousins in my life that would never have happened, had it not been for the internet. I have had alot of help from the pros and am grateful for that. I still have alot to learn and I am still the pc dummy here. I would sure hate to see this list go......I have recieved alot of help here and made great friends. I will send more links as I find them. Now I shall go and see what I have on file to share with all. Gloria
