It looks like you might be new to geneaology list posting (if not, sorry!) I thought I would give you a couple of tips that might save you a lot of typing and make it more likely that someone will recognize your family. Genealogists generally refer to the women in their tree by their maiden names. It is implied that they took their husband's last names. This way, you don't have use parenthesis or nee to keep the last names straight. Also, it will help if you include any dates, cities, or other pertinent info in your post. Even if you are not exactly sure of those details, narrowing it down will help people refer to the right decades in their info. When you post to the list, make your subject line a mini "summary" of the family you are looking for. For example, "Camp, Farquar in Anderson Co, TX" I hope you have some luck! This list is full of helpful people, many of whom live in Anderson Co and can help you dig for good stuff! Traci
