Vicki, every word of this letter is merited. You have done a MAGNIFICENT job on the Gibson County website. How much easier a genealogist's life would be if every county had done a comparable job. Thank you for the many, many hours you have put in to this work. I would also like to commend the subscribers to the Gibson County newsletter. Every time I have made much of a posting, I have not only received the help I need, but have made new friends in the process. This is the best genealogical site that I have found. One last question -- I have recently come across some photos of my Hunt ancestors in Gibson County. Are you including individual photos on the page? If so, where should they be sent? Again, congratulations on an exceptional job and praise well earned.
