To who it concerns: I'm so new to computers that I don't even recall exactly how I got on this particular e-mail genealogy group! Of course, I'm glad I did. I'm getting no where in attempting to unearth any roots connected with the surname Hyam(mine). Maybe some out there can give me some grass roots data or at least a few leads to put my search above the sod. Sure would appreciate it. Sincerely, Bill
