Aw shucks, I'm blushing ;-) Thanks Bill, well my experience is 99.9% of all O'Neall/O'Neill's are the best folks in the world, including your fellow listmembers, I plan to do some website uploading this week, your query is in my to do stack, hope I don't miss anyone! Best o luck in researching your kin. And to everyone, please don't give up~I spent the last 2+ years posting one of my Most Wanteds on the Rhodes-L email list, myself and 3 other family genealogists have been searching for her for years and I found her by posting my query for the 40th time! Someone new on the list had her in his data and I found her entire family going back to 1600's, cause I didn't give up, so my suggestion: Post your "Most Wanted O'Neill/O'Neall" on this list again and always search the internet for them too! thanks, Jill ---------- : From: William Mitchell <[email protected]> : To: [email protected] : Subject: Re: [ONEALL-L] Roll call : Date: Sunday, October 18, 1998 12:45 PM : : Jill, : : You are so nice and helpful.
