Sorry to be so slow in responding, Joann, but other things got in the way this week, how rude of them :) I don't know what Celia posted, whether it was for me or not, but I have retrieved all the archived digests for the list and am near halfway to current postings. Do you happen to be a descendant of Elias? I already have quite a bit on Elias both back and forwards, none of it my own personal research and much of it with no references at all. If you are a descendant of Elias, be sure to visit Linda Woodard's pages I don't know if she belongs to the list or not. http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/w/o/o/Linda-G-Woodard/index.html I haven't checked her stuff against the info I got from others, but she is working with 2 other Elias desc. (1 in FL and 1 in TX) so I think they are probably doing a fair job of cross-referencing and cross-checking each other. Thanks for the welcome, I appreciate it.
