Hi Folks, I just wanted all of you to know how rewarding the posting of the little spoof of Palm Beach was on yesterdays list. I sent it to one other list, Union County Tennessee, where the community is more than consumed with living and enjoying life. They also do a lot of genealogy work. The response was unbelieveable. Two people complained about the spoof. The other responses have been overwhelming and I think most of the list members have commented. I've appended one so you can enjoy. I suggest if any of you had ancestors who came through E. Tennessee this is a good place to hang out.

LOL I belong to several lists. Some of the others just go nuts when someone makes a mistake & sends a joke. Then you have to see email after email of others putting that person down. Chip is right when it comes to Genealogy. It is way more than tracking down names. Every time I find a new ancestor in my hunt, I can see them in my mind, even though I have never seen a photo of them. I imagine how they looked, how many hardships they must have suffered, see them struggling to raise a family of 12 or more. I feel the pain they went through when they had to bury a child. It's more than names......it's my roots!!!!!!!! You wanna know why people get more help here? It's because they care!!!!! They care when someone is sick & needs prayer! I've found that when a person is caring, they are also a sharing person who is willing to do a lookup for you. And to Gale from Colorado: If you'll send me your mailing address by private email, I'll send you out a box of The Original Moon Pie!! No one should be deprived of eating one!!! :o) Bobbie from the great state of TN! http://www.geocities.com/grannys_world/ If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance. ~ George Bernard Shaw ~
