Dear Bushy and Mike, Your dedication to the Berkeley website is based on a heartfelt love of the area and its history and has no correlation whatsoever with whether or not you were born there. No two people have ever worked harder or given as much as you two have. I am constantly amazed at the new postings you provide. It must surely be a full time job to produce the results that you do. Just tell me what books I can contribute from and I will send you whatever I have. You know how to access the current list of books (URL below my name) and I am sending you an additional list of SC books. I have been most neglectful in helping although truthfully I have always thought that y'all had it "down pat". Just tell me how I can help and I'll get it done. I have done thousands of lookups based on the Bladen County, NC website. In fact, I have only been there one time (about 2 years ago), and have never had any relatives there, but I consider the Bladen Bunch the truest family I have ever had. I certainly hope my love of Bladen County doesn't have to be based on residency (Atlanta). 1. Yes! 2. Absolutely not Additional books: 313. THE ROMANCE OF LOWER CAROLINA.

Your Web page suits me just fine and I am grateful for all the hard work you do. Please don't close up shop because others want to do their own pages. There is plenty of information in Berkeley and surrounding areas to choose from. You are doing a great job!
