    1. Information genicide in Kosovo
    2. Jason & Diana Hyde
    3. I don't know how many of you are following the crisis in Kosovo, but I felt it necessary to make a point known. First of all, I am a military wife, so I can see both side of the coin. My husband is still at home, but I still carry the fear of him having to leave, as well as having many friends who are already there. We all think we have problems when we hid that "brick wall" in our research, but that wall is usually at least a couple of generations back. Those in Kosovo can't even prove who they are right now. Their identification papers, deeds and other identifying papers are being destroyed. I simply ask that we all take a moment to remember why our men and women are in southern Europe and other areas of the world. It has nothing to do with Clinton and his problems, but everything to do with allowing others to live as we do and research their families as we do. I hope that I haven't upset anyone by my post. I only know how I would feel if it were my husband that had been captured or my family that had been destroyed. I feel a great commonality to the reasons that we were involved in the two world wars and other major conflicts of the past. A moment of silence for those that have been captured and also for the Kosovo people that have had their families destroyed. Sincerely, Diana Bostic Hyde
