<<Suppose you became genie friends with an older, perhaps even sickly person online, and heard from that person regularly. Then suddenly, no responses >> Barb, Hopefully if something happened to that person, someone from the family would write to let everyone know what happened. Let's hope and pray it is nothing serious, and they may soon be back on line. This is a good reminder for all of us to leave detailed instructions for family or a friend to contact all the genealogy lists, friends on line, etc. in case it is needed. Betty Noonan
