Hello Darraugh I am Suz (Susan Cruse) in Tipp City, Ohio. I am so very sorry about your involvement with that tornado! What is needed there? How is the college managing? Your offer to ancestry is lovely. I was one of the $$challenged who dosen't join with it! But, about your needs down there. How is your home and family doing?? Prayers for Ya Girl. My best wishes to you. Suz Darraugh <darasue@charter.net> wrote: I am one of those who have had a subscription to Ancestry.com since 1998 and hope I can continue to maintain a subscription. I am also one of those who have had very little problems with Ancestry, particularly on the telephone. But as another list-subscriber previously mentioned, some have successful relationships and others don't. But this is not my main reason for my little blurb here. On occasion, an individual has emailed me about a surname that we may have in common and stated they have run into the infamous brick wall. Even though there is no match in the common surname, I will either go to Ancestry.com and look up the individual's name they are inquiring about, or will email the individual asking if they have a subscription to Ancestry and if not, I would be more than willing to see what I could find on the name of inquiry. Of course, I get back to the person to let them know whether I found information or not. Having said this and keeping in mind what another list subscriber mentioned of limited income resources, I am willing to do a search on Ancestry's website for the individual of whom the list subscriber is seeking. However, I do have limited time during certain months of the year. I happen to be a 40-something mother of three kids and a full-time college student at Union University in Jackson, TN. As many of you may have heard over the past two weeks, this is the same university that was hit by the F-4 tornado. We are suppose to be resuming on February 20th - hence, the little bit of free time I now have. Otherwise, during the college semesters (Sept thru Dec and Feb thru May) are off limits for feeding my genealogy addiction. If a list subscriber would like me to do a search on Ancestry.com for a particular individual, please be sure to email me directly, so as to free up this list of unrelated Miami County inquiries. Please put "Ancestry.com Search" in the subject line; include specifics you have about the individual and what specifically you are looking for; and provide me with plenty of patience. Again, email me directly and NOT to the OHMIAMI email list.
