Hi Sally -- Thank you for the "public" recognition of the help I was able to provide to you. It is quite gratifying. I must also say that you are more than welcome -- it is my small way of returning to others some of my time and skill and knowledge that I am usually unable to give back to those who directly help me with MY researches and who do so without thought of personal gain... There are many great folks in this category who have helped me in the past -- associated with the many Jefferson Co websites and webpages, as well as others, too, who are members / subscribers to the several great Jefferson County maillists/newsletters such as this one.. and others -- individuals who do nothing more than leave a query or surname posting about someone in Jefferson County [that leads me into contact with them], and then depart as they "surf on through". I'm glad you have been so successful this time.// Gord JRH1036@aol.com wrote: Subject: CONVERSE Resent-Date: Fri, 11 Feb 2000 11:32:17 -0800 Resent-From: NYJEFFER-L@rootsweb.com Date: Fri, 11 Feb 2000 14:31:58 EST From: JRH1036@aol.com To: NYJEFFER-L@rootsweb.com > I'd like to say a big "thank you" to Gord HINES for giving me some tips on > how to research the family of my g-X-3-grandfather, Hiram CONVERSE.
