When I hear all of you discussing the Look-ups that have been taking place the last few days, I am aware there are those of you out there who have been doing this so long that you think the Rowanroots belongs to your little group who have enjoyed passing individual information back and forth. Not all but many of you have forgotten what it is like to be a beginner in this family look up business and how exciting it would have been to have had hundreds of marriages to look through from the one town you knew could be the place. So you don't find it! You move on, Remember when you got all excited and then the let down and then another year goes by and one day what if some crazy fellow put on the internet hundreds of marriages again and you found it. Wow what a day. Not much fun for those who looked and lost but it is worth it if only one person found a match and there were many. I thought it was an exciting few days but I doubt if very many more people will be of much help for all the h... you catch for trying...
