I am so very grateful re the many responses/suggestions etc that I have rec'd re my loss of my FTM records. I have saved all of your notes & definitely plan to use your suggestions. My 1st step will be to re-sub to Ancestry.com & hope that they have maintained all of them (I left them a few months ago due to illness & being unable to sit @ my 'puter) Please X your fingers for me !!!!! I will post again to let you all know how I'm making out. And again THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU . Bev
