How old do these things have to be? I have searched the Search Engines for ME & I am not there. I assure you, I am still around! We've lived in this house 2 years. We've had our own website 2 1/2 months now. I've been doing newsgroups and email that long. My husband has been in the same business 18 years. I did find my niece at an address that she moved from 3 years ago. I did find my husband's business at an address he moved from 6 years ago. We have an 800# and are constantly getting wrong number calls. I just typed some of them in and got "No matches found" on everyone of them. Before I start calling people asking, "There might be a possibility that we are related. Do you do genealogy?" I would like to have a little better assurance that the people I am trying to reach still live there. I haven't found any connections on the Internet yet except thru email. And I haven't found any connections to my ancestors that way. I know it is possible, but I would like to! branch out in other areas, too. I didn't find anything on Switchboard that would narrow my search down to a certain state. If you can tell me how to do that, please do. It may be a while before I can get back to the county courthouse where I hope to find some info, but the state library did not have what I need. I KNOW these people existed! I have a few pictures! I just can't find any connections and dates. :( T. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Have an Actually Better Day. Please Visit http://www.wimall.com/talonwhisler Don't forget to sign the Guestbook!
