Hello all; thank-you for the letters of inquiry as to my whereabouts this summer. I am really sorry I didn't respond to most of them. Most of the emails I recieved have been deleted hence the open letter to the list rather than personal. This summer I suffered the loss of two of my children, and the pain that this caused put too much strain on an already difficult marriage, and we both decided it was time to part our ways... In a few days, I will be moveing to start a new life with new hopes and dreams. I will not be giving up on genealogy, and I will return to theses lists once I am settled. I just wanted to take the time to explain my absence to those who have kept in touch with me... Keep digging up them bones..... Yours Truely, Birdie
