I was just talking to my Payne-Hubby last nite & today about how Wonderful it is that there is someone like Patrick,(who I JUST found out is our Cousin (-:) on this Payne-List & how devoted he is to pure research & has Historian skills to help aid all of us Genealogists , hobby & professional, and how much I have enjoyed his Historical veiws, as Family Genealogy is more then just collecting Family names & numbers, its about REAL people who we are related to!!! People that had Lives & Lived History....and Someday we will be the people in one of our future relatives genealogy researches and I hope that person also adds personality to our records by recording what we did & who we were!!!! I am fascinated with what Patrick is researching....here are records of real people who came here, a very strange land (sometimes I think it still is (-: ), leaving behind everything familiar to them.....and this is History from so very long ago ...And to have it brought out in the open for public veiwing by Patrick is such a Gift....Thank-You Patrick for this Gift & PLEASE ignor the people who say hurtful things.....PLEASE continue with your research, you have put your Heart into, and I am sorry to say, that has left you open to injury.....Keep on with the Search, It is worth it!!! Thanks again Patrick...From The Whole PaynePack
