    3. I went to talk to an aunt, when I got interested in genealogy, she gave me a book someone had sent her, and some old letters. One was from Lettie . Lettie was my grandmother's cousin, she was deceased, her son was deceased, and Lettie's letter said "Fred's son Bill and his wife gave me a stewing hen for my birthday." I decided to go to People Find on one of the search engines and look for Bill, I found him, called him up on the phone. He could give me a little family history, but said who you ought to be talking to is Mary Margaret. He gave me her last name, I looked it up in People Find, called several times before I found her home, she gave me lots of information, then said who you ought to talk to is Shirley, my niece, she has it on her computer. She gave me Shirley's phone number, and Shirley sent me the family history she had. These people were all related to me, and I had never heard of any of them. They had information as far as my grandmother, and I had lots of information for them from Grandma on down. We still share information on the Thomas line, and write to each other. My great grandfather Thomas, married Mary Maxedon, the daughter of Nancy J Radcliff. Still would like to find more connections, who was Nancy's parents? What happened to her children she had by William Noblitt? This last week I found two living cousins of my deceased husband, by going to people find. I have called and talked to them, they each have done some genealogy they are willing to share, and this took me back another generation in the McCart family line. Karon Mazie
