Hi guys................sorry I have not been around. My computer died and I stopped at school to post a quick message...............as soon as I get back online from home then I can do more. Working 2 jobs has not been all that helpful but the money coming in has been nice..........been taking care of a neighbor who had hip surgery and she is making me bonkers also!!!!!!!!! And you all thought I was crazy to begin with - I am even crazier now!!!!!! Went to meet up with family in Whiting, NJ and was able to get information on the Raws family clear back to 1780. As soon as I get through the 10 pages my cousin gave me then I can plug in names here that I have that others may be looking for............so give me some time!! My daughter's job will be getting new computers soon and as soon as that happens - she will be giving me her puter from the job as everyone gets to take the old one home when they get replaced with new ones as soon as the reconstruction is over............it should be soon!! I am going to ask at school also to see if I can snag an old one here for the time being............ Hope all is well!!!!!!!!!
