Dear Joan, et all, The resources available for look ups are very few are far between these days. I am a resource, and you have probably written to me without response here in the last few weeks. My apologies to all for that. I have 3 children, a husband I see once a week if I am lucky due to our work schedules, I work outside my home, I care for my parents etc. I am not usually so far behind, but there is times when things get me swallowed up. If anyone here has sent me a request for look ups, I will get to them this evening and tomorrow. I still have to feed my kids, I have project at work to do, and I have hundreds of photos to go online yet. It isn't that we don't WANT to do it, but we do have other things to do. When I first started the TNGenWeb sites I was a stay at home Mom, now I am not. With the help of Bettye Liberty, she will assist me getting these done, but please try to remember that this isn't our day job. If it was, I would be the happiest person in the world.
