Say it "ain't so". You mean that you folks who want to help us are not like me and possibly the one who complained? All I have to do is sit in front of three computers most of four or more days a week. I think it is wonderful that there are people like you, busy, and yet willing to help when you can. I've been looking, now almost 20 years, for some information. If there are those who may have what I want, I believe I can wait a few more days or months if need be. Thanks again to all who assist us!!!

I have done so much research for folks, and I know Bettye would understand, that when I finally went to Marshall and Maury Co's in June, I had so many names mixed up in my head that I forget that they are not my own family. I swear I must have looked at hundreds of stone's in cemeteries and thought "Hey, I know that name.....where do they fit in?" Then I realize they don't and feel really stupid. Since I started hosting, I have considered each person who researches in Maury and Marshall Counties "relatives". We may not be by blood, but we are by how close our families were at one time, and by what we seek. I understand frustration, but within any family there must be some understanding. I thank you all for your's.
