jeff, i do agree with you, i am here to find family members , not to bash gov. bush! but i also agree that our heritage is important. it keeps us from repeating the same mistakes. i hope that we have came a long way from the backward ignorance of that time and era! we have to understand that the civil war did take place and i have family from both sides . that did not keep from making a family and from all those families right or wrong their decisions were i am here and so are my children. lorie
