Hi list, One of the things I really like about this list is the history of the Puget Sound area that is posted. Carroll Clark is one of our greatest contributors. I especially like his comments on the present and past action and events of the area. I though that was what genealogy is really about. What good is a list of names if you don't know any thing about them or how their lives differ form ours?. I signed up for the Hawaiian roots list which said it was for Hawaiian History and Genealogy. the only thing I ever see there is request for name searches, I have sent is several post requesting historical facts and information and never get any replies. If this all this list is only going to be, requests for name searches, I will be gone. Kit, Olala WA. kits@kits.seanet.com
