Hi folks, sorry that this is another off topic thread caused by me. I will send myself some emails and threaten to kick myself off the list if it continues <grin>. Also I thought I asked this in September or some time ago..... Now is kinda late. Esp. since what I sent out earlier I got no responses from at all. So this isn't a useful way to get feedback, esp. with Christmas coming on. Probably not too many Jewish people on this list or ones who are so annoyed by the commercialization of a religious holiday that they got nothing to do but read a boring chapter in a very boring book. I even sent chapters to family members and they didn't return comments -- neither insults relating to my 'findings' nor corrections to awkward sentences <grin>. Sorry again for no lookups, but trying to complete today's work (at 10 PM) due to spending whole morning taking cat to vet and back. He's mending but still consuming lots of time. Manana, I hope.

After Thanksgiving, I'd be happy to read the 40-page chapter and "edit". Also, to keep on subject... does anyone have any info on the AGNEW families who went to Ireland and then to the colonies... especially Virginia? I descend from William AGNEW and Rachel BOOKER. William was born abt. 1755, place unknown, both died abt. 1830-1835 in Bedford County, Virginia. I know there were Scots-Irish AGNEWs, just don't know if these folks among that group. Thanks, and Happy Thanksgiving to all. -- Carolyn HALE BRUCE Virginia Beach, VA
