To Anne and all list members: I have to unsub from the list until the 2nd week in January. Family history research is having to take a back seat to current Family Obligations...you know, little things such as shopping, baking, Christmas, New Years, visiting, visitors, etc.. Will keep my fingers crossed that while I'm offline, no one comes onboard who is searching for Laings or Measons (Laing-Measons), Wemyss or Whitelaws. If any do, perhaps one of you will grab them and hold them for me! In the meantime, here's wishing you all, a truly beautiful Christmas and a New Year filled with wonderful surprises, good health, and of course, many successes in locating those elusive ancestors on your own family trees. See you...via email anyhow....in 1999. Kate Keene Ottawa, Ont. Canada
