Thanks - - I needed to know I am not the only person who has been searching for 8 straight years for this woman's family. My elderly aunt will be 90 and I keep telling her I will find her grandmother's family before she dies. Not looking too good that I can keep that promise. I've even had 2 professionals look for her family - - it is like she does not exist until she is a married woman. >From: "David Middleton Edelen II" <k98@bellsouth.net> >Reply-To: RODGERS-L@rootsweb.com >To: RODGERS-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: Re: [RODGERS] RODGERS PENNSYLVANIA >Date: Fri, 29 Oct 2004 18:13:54 -0500 > >Hello Anna Marie, > I know what you mean.
