Dear Readers, Many of you have written me private email re your successes and some who cannot locate the site. For those will you try this: Into your search mode type in FamilySearch.org (it will bring up purple listing which says FamilySearch.org-FamilyHistory and Generalogy Records)...Click on that. It will take you to Search For Your Ancestors where you can put in a name, etc for search (this will sometimes give more info than going to the orange box...I search both). TO THE RIGHT of this name search you will find the orange box SNEAK PEEK with another square DO...Click Do and off you go (for days and days, etc.) If you are still having difficulty finding the site, please send me private email. Thanks Melba

That's a wonderful story with a wonderful ending. I'm very happy for you and your brother. Toni

Charlie is going to get ALL of us if we keep this up :>)....I'm shaking!!! :>) However, after this I will try to maintain my composure....I do thank ALL of you so much for your sweet comments and prayers... He called me tonight and we talked for over an hour just like we'd known each other for YEARS...he's 4 yrs older than I am and it was amazing how much we had in common and common likes. People ask me all the time...have you FOUND your birth family or siblings? WHY don't you LOOK for them? My answer is, I have made some effort...when God says it's the right time, it will happen...he's ALWAYS ON TIME...never late and never too early...maybe later than to MY wishes, but HIS timing is ALWAYS PERFECT. And TONIGHT WAS PERFECT!!! His name is Rick...he lives in Snohomish, WA...he says it better than "I" do...we laughed about the way I attempted it. It's kind of like, "Shelbyville"....bet "I" can beat HIM with that one... Anyway, thank all of you...you are very kind... Now, I will get back to Smith Co Business.... :>) Sue **************Gas prices getting you down? Search AOL Autos for fuel-efficient used cars. (http://autos.aol.com/used?ncid=aolaut00050000000007)

Sue, Not long ago I read a Coincidence is probably God working anonymously. He always answers prayers - just not always as soon as we want it or the way we THINK we want it. I am so happy for you.
