Congratulations "Retiree" Mary, Now you can get down to serious searching for those kinfolk! You and I have this day to remember--October 1,1999. Your well deserved retirement date and my BIG "70" birthday. The Internet will provide you with an opportunity, as it has me, to meet a lot of wonderful "root diggers" across this great land of ours. We are truly living in a time of modern miracles. Many thanks to you for giving me the source of your Barron book. I'll try to contact Mr. John I. Barron to see if he might, by chance, have another copy floating around and want to sell it to his "old" Texas cousin. I wish you Good Luck on your genealogy work and even more luck on a relaxed life of retirement. Thanks again...
