This is my fifth request to be removed from the list.

Hello again fellow listees, Dan has very kindly added two more articles recently to his collection on basic genealogy. So I took the liberty of adding them to the MS Word document I told you all about a couple of issues ago. So now it includes the whole series and the OCGS Book list. Anybody who wants one just send me an e-mail and I will attach it to the reply and send it off to you. This includes the dozen folks who already took advantage of this remarkable, free, no strings attached offer! (Just send a self addressed stamped envelope and your grandmother to...) -----------snip------------ I just wanted you all to know that I have a MS Word Document which has all of Dan's articles at once in a nice, neat printable 88 page document, complete with fancy fonts and all that good stuff. If you want it just send me an e-mail and I will attach it to the reply and it's off to you. Just be sure that you can handle a 300KB attachment and a Word 97 document. And give all your thanks to Don. -----------unsnip------------ Cal Owen CalOwen@mediaone.net 266 Wellman Avenue North Chelmsford, MA 01863 978-251-0675 Home 978-657-3447 Work
