Don't give up...new resources are showing up all the time. With all the thousands and thousands of people researching, facts known within a family, or other details not on public record keep coming to light with new leads or clues, or often specific answers. I've been doing genealogy for 40 years and found more with my computer in two years than I did the old hunt and seek way for over 30 years. We are all links in a big round chain. I am carrying information that my grandmother got from her grandmother...that's over a century and a half of knowledge. ~~Dixie
