I have decided to get an older computer for the floppies. I have thousands of obits on the floppies, and boxes of obits waiting to be scanned, I am not going to let the obits go away. I am sorry you are disappointed with the list, but--McKinney is definitely a name from Bellwood and Tyrone. I will check what I have for that area, and email you. Don't allow yourself to get discouraged, just keep plugging. I remember what a woman told me a few years ago, when she first started she thought she would research her husband's family, have that all done in at most six months, and here it was 20 years later, and she was still working on it. I have met some members of the list, and some I have never seen, but feel as though I know them very well. I have always believed that this list is perfect, no complainers (except me) everyone generous and giving. I think you will be happily surprised with the response you will get from listers trying to help you. Don't give up. I am feeling very mellow today, not at all my usual prickly self. My youngest dog pulled me off the front porch yesterday, causing me to fall over two planters and landing on my face. Thank God my daughter was here, because she helped me up, checked me for broken bones (none) bruises, (lots) cuts (three) and a very sore toe on my right foot. This morning she brought something over that my grandson was prescribed when he pulled a tendon at football practice. I don't remember the name, it is a blue pill, and I love it. It seems to me that everything still hurts, but I don't really care. ; ) Annie Whiteman PABlair List administrator Annie Whiteman/Steve Patz Blair County Coordinators http://www.rootsweb.com/~pablair <BR><BR>**************************************<BR> Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour</HTML>
