Hello List, Just wanted you all to know I am still here... it turns out I had mail problems that I was working with Rootsweb to fix, and it turns out the problem was hotmail (where I get my email right now) suddenly decided to claim all rootsweb mail was spam and didn't deliver it to me. I hope I have things fixed now. The list is still here.... I have given up several other lists and the IrelandGenWeb websites, but I am keeping this list. School started for us here on Aug 5 so these first few weeks are hectic even tho now I am in more of an administrative capacity, with longer hours and more responsibility in some ways. I also unfortunately am still coping with orthopedic problems from the knee surgery which did not go well last October and have to use a cane all the time now, which means doing anything, going anywhere takes a lot longer. For all these reasons right now I just have limited time to do anything. Hopefully that will get better as things settle down. We will still do the Ancestor Party like we usually do (tho we skipped last March due to my health issues) probably around Labor Day or so, and I do intend to get a website for us back up, as well as my Helpful Hints page asap. So I'm here, and I'm hoping that you all can just converse and monitor yourselves a bit until things can be more like they were. If anyone has a problem just email me personally. Hopefully I will now get the listmail as I hope I have fixed the hotmail problem (crossed fingers). Thanks for hanging in there with me....
