Sorry guys, but my internet provider must be on winter break these days--- am having some issues with both sending and receiving-- thanks to J R for taking the time to call me and point out the problem to me-- still trying to get it resolved-- BUT- in the meantime-- I have sent Ellis another 4350 names to add to the death index, (at least, I hope the internet provider did) I have worked on getting more direct links up on the submitted dates pages AND now, I am only about 7000 names behind. Thanks for the well wishes. I am getting there, slowly but surely. My doc says I should move to the warm southern beaches. Guess I will just have to visit in my mind....... I haven't been able to receive from the list for at least two days now so I don't know if I am missing more of Bob's great work--- Bob, I think you have another address you can use for me until I get this all resolved-- uggg, weather calling for more winter weather tonight--- am so very tired of it all--- I need spring, I need sun, I need warmth, I need azaleas, I need fresh mint for mint juleps, and I need to get back to this portion of my volunteer genealogy work-- I've also been trying to help with the charity my daughter volunteers for (and won an award for youth volunteer)-- with psychiatric service dogs for vetrans with PTSD. Awesome work they do. annie
