Hi Carol! Oh have no trepidation! This is a *good* question! I just wish I had a better answer! I just got a new puter and all my favorite bookmarks have not been transferred over here yet, so I can't remember the *exact* URL -- but do this: Go to www.rootsweb.com and the mailing list section. Type in "Strong" and it should give you some choices and one of those should be "archived messages" or some such! It that doesn't work, write me back off-list (cmstrong@ourpostbox.com) and I'll try again. Oh yeah -- everybody else -- here is my new e-mail addy, BTW!!

I'm relatively new at this (I descend from Elder John's son, Thomas) and only sporadically find time to indulge my interest in the Strong family genealogy.
