Hi Gang, Just to let you know, I got my favorite thing today, the new issue of the Pedigree. I haven't completely finished reading yet but I wanted to let everyone know they should be getting theirs soon. Barrie has again done a great job putting it together. My thanks to her and all of the wonderful contributors to this issue. Outstanding variety, informative for many of our Family Groups ; behind the scenes of the PRA ; humor and the fact finding missions from our members. It seems that the issues just get better and better as we go along ; better material, better sources, better documentation on the family files. Loved the Bios - it's nice to put a face to all of these emails that we get. I knew that we had some very talented members and this is proof that they exist. Of special interest was the family story from England one of our new members, Mr. John Hickie submitted. Great stuff ! Pictures and the mystery Coat of Arms (new version). A tear-jerker was submitted by Edith Harris from FG 21. I have to say, Edith, by the time I got to the middle of your story , I was ready to call the Finkbiner's myself and make the purchase for you. God - does indeed work in mysterious ways. Simply Wonderful I guess it is safe to say the PRA's decision to bring the PP into the 21st Century using advanced techniques has paid off. I believe it has made it easier for our members to contribute material, submissions have not been misplaced and I think this new system has made the compilation easier on our miracle worker - our Editor, Barrie Petty. Thanks to everyone for contributing. Rene'e Davis, ARD, Family Groups PRA - Group 9 Pennington Research Association, Inc. www.penningtonresearch.org
