To tell the truth, I've stopped reading & posting because all I ever see is one person repeatedly offering current obituaries. The list doesn't seem to be as interactive as any of the other gen lists I'm on. Hope it changes in the future. Debra NC P.S. The Prince Livingston Family Reunion is going on this weekend in Wampee...and I'm missing it because of monthly inventory at work! I'm still looking for info. on the Livingston and Vereen families (Afro-American) in Horry County. Please contact me if you have and info on Robert Livingston's plantations. ---- paprice3993@aol.com wrote: > > Dear list, > Is anyone else having problems posting to these lists?
