Hi everyone Well, my second year as a member of this wonderful List is at a close and I owe my continued participation to Pat Mullens and Karen Theofanides and ever present and influential member; Noah Smothers. Got to say that I have learned a great deal about my Smothers family in the past year from all of you and in turn, am in hopes that I have been able to share a bit of information with some of you that will have been utilized as a tool in your own research. More to do for all of us in 2001 and continued success is wished for all of you in our common hobby of genealogical research. Just wanted to wish each of you a wonderful holiday season, filled with family and friends and most of all, fun. I will be unsubscribing today.......but, will return in February after I return from an extended trip. No computer will be available to me where I will be staying, so that put a halt to my favorite exercise there! LOL Good luck to you all and Happy Holidays.
