Hello All, I noticed at the bottom of the Rootsweb Templeton list that it was available for adoptions. Well, we humans sometimes jump in where angels fear to tread. I decided to take the plunge. Isn't America wonderful? I am now the listowner and I didn't have to pay anything to become the owner, either! I hope I haven't bitten off more than I can chew. I've been collecting Templeton information for a couple of years now, and not just my own line. Glad to look through my data to see if I have anything that you'd be interested in. I also have the CD version of the American Genealogical-Biographical Index. If you'd like me to look up a Templeton, give me the name and, if possible, date of birth and location. If you want all the Templetons associated with a certain location, let me know. This is a pretty quiet list. Let's make it a goal to have at least one message per week. With 58 subscribers, that should be easy! For those of you subscribed over at the northwest.com list, I invite you to join the Rootsweb list.
