Barbara, Thanks for explaining how you and others have worked so hard to make the Pennington group and site such a good one. I'm new to this site, so it's been interesting to see what information you have. I do belong to other family sites too and they all are a little bit different in different ways. It's the family that counts, so I consider all of the Pennington groups as my family and the only confusion I've had so far is that they are all separated into groups. I assume we are all from a common ancestor, but maybe I'm wrong about that. Thanks so much to you and everyone else who makes the site what it is. Ruth
