I thought it would help visitors who haven't been to our meetings before. Be sure to share the above address with people who are thinking about coming to one of our meetings. It has all the details they need. I'm also working on another special page to add to the TPCGS site. It should be up in another day or two. Please stop by our site when you get a chance and see all the wonderful things TPCGS has to offer you to aid in your research. Hope to see you at a meeting or seminar, Cyndi Cyndi Howells TPCGS 1st VP & Webmaster cyndihow@oz.net TPCGS web site http://www.rootsweb.com/~watpcgs/tpcgs.htm Cyndi's List http://www.CyndisList.com
