I agree wholeheartedly. Life's too short and our searches are way too long and complex for us to lose any of our members. Sandra, please do reconsider. This really has been a fun and informative forum. We need to keep up the constructive dialogue and get on with our searches. All of us, regardless of where we courrently reside, at one point had something in common......Jefferson County. Hopefully we can continue to learn from each other. Thanks for everyone's generous contributions to my tree. It'll never be done, but without your help it would be a very frustrating pursuit. jan kolb
