What goes around DOES come around...and maybe not right then or from the same source; but invariably, I will send off a bunch of info, and soon, get a regular wind-fall... maybe not on the same line. Often I find someone who has enough overlapping information to know it is the same person, and sharing and swapping opens all sorts of new doors, for both of us!

Karma always has a way of evening things out and I have never found this to not be true. I too have been most fortunate in my research and 99% of it has come through sharing and comparing research with others. Some will have and give more and some will have and give less but all are valuable assets to the individual researcher. I respond to this and notice that your screen name is ClackyCline. Cline is one of my collateral lines to a major branch of HARDIN from Portland, Sumner Co., TN. My Great Grandfather, Timothy Clinton HARDIN b. 1879 and Great Grandmother, Leona AnnaTilda WENDT HARDIN b. 8-7-1889 had 10 children, 8 of which survived to adulthood and of whom, Ruth HARDIN CLINE was born 9th in abt. 1928 -1930. Ruth married Noble CLINE and had at least one son, Kenneth and possibly a daughter. She currently resides in Portland and is my mother's maternal Aunt. Are you connected to this Cline line? Anything you could share with a related researcher? I would have some rather Big and interesting news on the HARDIN line in exchange if this the case and would be happy to do just that if you contact me at BULL4FISH2@aol.com.
