Hello, I am a new subscriber but not new to Bell county. I was a member of West Bell for a few years in the early 90's. Spam me if you like, but I do agree with Bill. I joined wanting to read queries, and information on Bell co. So far I have only seen one article that could be called genealogy and that is on brands. If you must , why not send that privately? I am sure there are many more on the list not interested . I know a great place that would love to have chatterers visit , it is called Reminiscences <reminiscences@listbot.com> , we have a great time there, speaking of the old days, cooking etc ... One more thing before I go, Bill was polite, he stated his opinion, and said Thank you. So do I, Thanks, Pat Lawton, OK
