I am taking this oppportunity to say "thank you" to all who have helped me in my search. Every one has their opinions about things but this is how I look at it : we all have the same goal in mind - our family history. It is wonderful that the internet has made the sharing of info so much easier, not to mention the speed. And many, including myself, have found mistakes in histories listed on trees at Ancestry.com etc. I still consider myself a beginner. I walk graveyards, contact churches, sit searching in libraries and have gotten closer to not only my children, who aid in this search, but also to understanding the lives that my ancestors lived. I am also thankful that thru lists such as these I have been answered and contacted by distant relatives I never knew existed. For that reason alone - this has been a positive experience. Since I am a wife, mom & full-time college student, I only get to really search during breaks. Class starts again next week. It is a blessing to have others share tips & info, which I try to do in turn. Thanks again, Michelle -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Friday, July 06, 2001 11:16 AM Subject: PAARMSTR-D Digest V01 #172
