If you don't remember seeing a question or posting, you can always go to the list archives and check for what you missed......this is the URL that will allow you to browse by month. http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/pa-old-chester or, you could use the site with the search option, and use the name as your subject. http://listsearches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl?list=PA-OLD-CHESTER Either way, the archives should be utilized to answer many of our questions and 'fill in the blanks'.....that's what they're there for!
