Regina, I am so sorry over the passing of your mother-in-law. Sometimes we forget in our searching and trying to figure out the complexity of lines, etc. that what we are looking for is our sense of family. I too have come to the conclusion that I may not in my lifetime get it all figured out. But, in another life we could meet face-to-face and know what took place and why. Either way, I guess we win. You did a nice thing for your mother-in-law. I never did understand the mother-in-law jokes. I loved my in-laws and they were very good to me. God bless you.

Hi Arlene, I also believe that some of my ancestors are helping me with my research "from high above." There is no other explanation for my "suddenly and unexpectedly" finding information I had been searching for ! Betty (near Lowell, MA) P.S. I was married for 9 years before I kicked my EX out, but my mother-in-law suffered from a mental illness and was not capable of establishing a relationship. So, I never got to have an active/healthy mother-in-law ! On the other hand, I could start some "wicked daughter-in-law jokes." :o( ----- Original Message ----- From: "Arlene Haddock" <mahaddock@yahoo.com> To: <RIGENWEB-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, May 05, 2006 5:20 PM Subject: Re: [RIGENWEB] BETTY ROCKLEY PIPES > Regina, I am so sorry over the passing of your > mother-in-law.
