Dear Cousins, I just posted an obituary that appeared in our newspaper this week of one of our cousins. THIS is the type thing we should see MORE of. I enjoy debating how to spell names because it's fun for me but let's not lose sight of our main goal and purposes: to gather and preserve our family's heritage and to get to know our living relatives. PLEASE, when you see an obituary of a descendant of our family, either post it on the discussion group or send it directly to me. If you have old obituaries or know relatives who do, PLEASE make xerox copies of these and send to me to preserve in our Family Library. If your folks are like my Mama, they probably clip out obits of kinfolks and stick them in the family Bible. Mama brock the backs of two very large Bibles doing this with a very large number of obituaries. You will also probably find them in photo albums. Xerox copies of these are far more important that a typed version but if you can't get xerox copies made, then please email me a full transcript. When you see obits of descendants in the newspapers, please clip the obit, along with the name and date of the newspaper from the top of the page and send these to: Robert Earl Woodham 1130 Celia Dr. Columbus, Ga. 31907 You can email me at: woodham@leo.infi.net Thanks for helping me preserve our heritage. ------------------------------
