Helllllloooooooo, I agree with those who've stated "Let's use this list for what it was meant to be used for. . . genealogy" If you want to help the family...GREAT, but I agree with the train of thought that there are plenty of people out there to help this "needy" family. I have seen several similar cases and KNOW that they are seperated as a last resort. IF the family needs assistance, why doesn't she take it to the local TV stations where they'll reach a broader and more localized audience? hmmm? #1. She did NOT even state WHY the family was to be split up. It could be due to alcoholism, drugs, or something on those lines. [I'm NOT judging...just stating possibilities] #2. IF you REALLY want to help this family, do your homework and look up the numbers and make the necessary phone calls to do so! Don't sit back and wait for someone else to do it for you. But, PLEASE do so without inundating this "g-e-n-e-a-l-o-g-y" mailing list about it. Thanks for your time Floa Swisher
