Dear Listers: I just want to thank everyone who helped me with the research on the Mason and related lines that began in Hocking County and spread to other counties. I had enough information to get it all together and present it to Linda Mason Giles (who is originally from Hocking County) and her son Cliff (my son-in-law) at Christmas time in Orlando when we were there for the holidays. They were very happy and amazed at all the things and people that were found and just were in awe. Thanks to all for making it possible. I truly appreciate all the kindnesses in helping me to find the names, date, and places to put this all together. I just want you all to know that you had a hand in helping me to make a great Christmas for some new relatives in our family. THANK YOU!! Sincerely, Janice Connell Whidbey Island, Washington State
