A lot of us get many, many posts from many different genealogy mailing lists. If we keep it more to just the direct discussion of genealogy, I think it would be beneficial to all of us. That's not to say that many (it not most) of our ancestors didn't come to Ameroica for political and religious freedom in the first place; that's one thing, evangelizing on the list is another. ~Maudeen Maudeen@bainbridge.net Book Reviewer -www.Amazon.com Genealogy surnames: WEATHERLY, INMAN, NEELING, CAMERON, CHASE, HAUSER, ARNEY, ROARK, BLAIR, CRAWFORD, PURCELL, HAZLETT, HAISCH, WIPF, MILLIGAN, CRESWELL, STAHL, SCHULZ, HENDERSHOT, OLMSTEAD, SPEAR, COLE, LEE, STUCKEY, FAY, THOMAS, CROSS
