Now, if they had put Smith, Jasper Co MO, 1875+, I would have replied. Something to think about---and it may get a person more replies! Joan God luck to all of us! - >> When I put my information on the list, that is ALL the information I had. I am new to genealogy but thought I would list what I had. I guess I should have waited till I had more......sorry. >> Joan has a good point, but if that's all the information you have, you can't post more. But don't not post, Pat! We are all 'new' with each new name we pick up - you gotta start somewhere and the beginning (name, area of country, and hopefully an app. date) is usually the best. If you wait until you have 'more', you might not get 'more' - that's one reason for these lists, to get 'more'. Don't be sorry and don't not post!! Hang in there, girlfriend, and happy hunting!!
