That's easy; I'd invite Robert Snipes and his wife Martha to have dinner with me. He was b. abt 1770 (location unknown), but he and his wife Martha had several children, all b. in Lancaster between 1795 and 1830. I'd ask him where he was born and who his parents were. Oh, and I'd want to see the family Bible. Bill Snipes __________________________________________________________________ McAfee VirusScan Online from the Netscape Network.

This is such a neat question. I'd invite my gr-gr grandfather Lemual Albert Phillips and my gr-gr-grandmother Belle. I would ask all sorts of questions-where did you meet and marry? Were you happy all of your lives? How did the Civil War change your lives? Why did you leave Lancaster Cty and move to Monroe County Tennessee? So many questions and so few answers.
