Dear Everyone, Just needed to tell you all of my latest sucess story. Most of you know our list originator and administrator is Luis Beal. I am sure she has helped most of us at one time or another in our research...either with advice or translation. Well...I have just found out that she & I (and Ed too of course!!) are 8th cousins. I won't bore you with the long version that I gave her that explained how I came upon it.:-) I was so surprised to hear Luis tell me that we are the first relation she has found on the list! How can that be? I am already related to a bunch of ya'll!! I think we all need to do a better job of finding each other! So in that vein, here is a link to my tree on Ancestry http://awt.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:3178194&id=I5159 and here is one to Luis tree on Ancestry http://awtc.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=luisbeal&id=I309 Both links go to our common ancestor Amaro Affonso...but you can see the entire tree there also. Maybe we can find her some more cousins lurking around!! Thank you Luis for all you've done to inspire us over the last few years. Your cousins, Cece & Ed
