Katharan, What I meant was that we were lucky if we get one or two queries a week.....and mine and William's would blow the whole week. This is a `dead' list....I would even appreciate a recipe and I HATE to cook. I have been to the county site and been over it with a fine tooth comb but much of it is in the 20th century like most county history books. There has got to be some good stuff in the court house but how does one get to it. They don't answer mail. On other lists people post all kinds of wills, court minutes, deeds that they find doing their own research......you never know what will help someone else. I have asked for a few census families and was overwhelmed with the quick responses by so many people, willing to help. I just don't see how people can do genealogy and exclude history and it's causes and effects. Thanks for writing! jerree
