Nancy, Thanks for the link. I had a habit of saving all of Ms. Rasmussen's articles, but accidentally lost many of them. She always has interesting articles, and they always run on Sundays. I met her last year when she was on a book signing tour. She's very nice, and loves history.

Hi Listers, I am sure you all have seen the lists of "How To Tell If You Are a Genealogy Addict" ---such as 'You make secret long distance calls while your spouse is asleep.' I would like to add two of my own. Last weekend I was in Visalia, a small town in Tulare Co. for a family gathering. I stopped for breakfast at a local coffee shop. Most of the other customers were well into late middle age. I had to hold myself back from asking, in a loud voice, "Do any of you know the Perkins family? If so, my I come talk to you at your table?" And, you are a genealogy addict if...you tramp around a cemetery in the rain photographing gravesites of people you never heard of for people you haven't met. It all was great fun.

Hi Listers, All my phone lines have been out due to flooding in last week's storms---I'm catching up on some posts. Today's Los Angeles Times had another interesting column by Cecilia Rasmussen. This one deals with an early land grant family and dastardly deeds---it reads like a movie script. Here's the URL, remember, the Times doesn't keep articles online for very long. <http://www.latimes.com/news/state/20010218/t000014813.html> Nancy Howard in Studio City CA __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
