Thanks a lot, Yvonne...You'll never know how much I appreciate your support for a PURELY MECHANICAL problem beyond my control...but, it certainly is interesting to see how nice people are when you're helping them, and unpleasant some can be when things go awry!

It YOU think it's a pain, how about"her"? I loaded my computer up and took it to the shop in the pouring rain.....now, $55.00 poorer, I have had my internet express installed, and lost my sent and deleted box contents. Apparently, when I compacted today, something happened to my sent box, and the poor thing thought that there were 90,000 items in my sent box and just went crazy. So, "her " is sorry, but there was nothing I could do!

Rhonda, I am replying on Sandra's behalf. Her e-mail system is having problems right now. She knows there is a problem, but doesn't know how to solve it. She has already rebooted her computer twice to try and solve it. I sent her a private message and she responded with roughly this information. But even her private reply to me is being multiplied; I've already received two of them. -- Mary On Wed, 19 Jul 2000, Rhonda wrote: > what Ia going on I just got 18 of this excect message?? > -----Original Message----- > From: Sandra Ferguson <ferg@intelos.net> > To: PACHESTE-L@rootsweb.com <PACHESTE-L@rootsweb.com> > Date: Wednesday, July 19, 2000 1:21 PM > Subject: Re: [PACHESTE] Amy SILL, William CALLAHAN > > > >these are all I can find in Chester for a William and James Callahan; > >(nothing in F&C), or for the Sill surname. > > S. > > > >Pennsylvania Wills, 1682-1834 > > > >CHAMBERLIN, ISAAC.

Hello, Since I've never found anything to even show the title of this land going TO Ruth and James, anything is possible, I guess.
