Hi Beth, Congratulations!!!! Isn't it fun. There is one part of your letter that I have to correct..and that is: <<Being new at genealogy I could always use your help, but I fall short in helping others due to being a newbie. >> You can always help others, just with kind words <g> Again, Congratulations, Mary marykell In a message dated 11/06/2000 11:35:00 AM Mountain Standard Time, [email protected] writes: << ------------I'm so excited !! I ran across a web site that was under the MEADOWS surname,, It ended up being my Great Grand Mothers sisters sibling's line... I have found one link to my family line ... It was so exciting and still I'm in disbelief, joy, just like a child on Christmas morning.. This was a long weekend for me, checking my e-mail for a reply from her. She findley replied Sunday night, and tonight she is to wright once again. We have so much to share with each other. I wanted to share my happiness and joy with you all who I have grown to care for like family and who have shared information with me in my times of need. Being new at genealogy I could always use your help, but I fall short in helping others due to being a newbie. >>
