I hope that all who requested the records have received them. There are a few people I am still sending them too.If you have missed any let me know and I will get them sent to you. A few have asked why I do it. Well I feel genealogy should be shared.. After I retired I took over where my Mother and Grandmother had left off. I have always been a history buff and genealogy is just another arm of that. I find it relaxing and fun, you also meet many friendly and sharing people. It also is a lot of fun finding out about your ancestors and how they lived. I am sure that we all have heroes and scoundrels in our family trees. Each month I write a short story about one of my ancestors for my grandchildren and great grandchildren, so as to get them interested in history. I pick someone at random and show how they lived and the hardships they went through. My Great Grandchildren cannot believe how I lived, I was born in 1933 on a farm in Illinois, we had no plumbing or electricity so no television and it seems to them the worst of all no cell phone. Our phone was party line and I still remember the number 33F4, we answered on 4 rings. I had it good as c! ompared to some of my ancestors, those who were wounded in wars, pioneering, fighting hostiles. I also like looking to see if any famous people are in my tree, I have found some, but they are many generations back. So any one that has the same interests I have. I have 2 books on my computer I send to anyone who wants them. They are "Saints Who Left Descendents and Their Ancestry", by Brian Daniel Starr, it is 209 pages. The other book is "Our Royal Ancestors", by Winona Stevens Jones, it is about 150 pages long. If you want any or all of these books please contact me direct, rather than through the list. One last thing the surnames I am researching in Lancaster County are: BONHAM, KRAUTH, LARNER, LYTLE, AND WILEY, Jack

Hello, Jack: What a nice e-mail! You don't happen to have any Wiley ancestors who moved to Kentucky?
