Hello Debbie: It is a pleasure to be a part of such an illustrious group of early American descendants. You are correct, my ancestors are John Sackett/Abigail Hannum. I'm looking forward to future correspondence. I've always felt like a displaced midwestern yankee. Thanks, Tim V  I  V  O TIM  STEMPER Tim@vivojazz.com www.vivojazz.com -----Original Message----- From: sackett-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:sackett-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of dkbarbee@juno.com Sent: Friday, November 02, 2012 12:25 PM To: sackett@rootsweb.com Subject: [SACKETT] Welcome new member Tim Stemper I would like to welcome Tim Stemper, new member #392, to the Sackett Family Association! This welcome note is being sent a little later than usual, due to the hurricane impact. We were the lucky ones here in the northeast, we only had wind damage and power outages. Tim, I wish you could have joined us in September for the reunion. I checked the database and saw that you were from the same line as many of us, John Sackett - Abigail Hannum. I believe that several of us took photos of Abigail's tombstone. I hope that I have that right, as I'm using memory instead of good research technique!:} It seems each researcher has his own special interests. Some people love poring over old land records, deeds, and wills. Others enjoy finding that elusive grave site. And others keep trying to put their ancestors in perspective with the world at that time. This organization excels at all of it. Thurmon excited the group at the reunion with his words about the "Find A Grave" project. We saw the fruits of Chris' labor with his excellent award winning web site. Many of the attendees enjoyed that tramp in the cemeteries and were pleased to find some missing family! The visits to the research facilities and museums tickled others fancies. I hope that I'm giving you just a small window into the activities of the Association. Again, we welcome you!
