Hi Joe Duke, Interesting perception here. I see several responses, but none of us can assume that anyone knows it all, right? I began family research because of my religion, but contacting living persons was the way I was able to collect data enough for me to search for the dead. It is also a common feature of "genealogy" that we get acquainted with those who are no longer with us and sometimes they really "come alive" as we learn their history of family background. I'll take what you find on the dead because our lines intersect, and will correspond with you as long as I am living...smile please.
