I'm keeping ahead of the typing part, and want to keep it all in the same database. What we really need are more people on the ground who can help Sue with checking the museum lists against the cemeteries as they are today. > Regarding your message of yesterday about the write-up on James W, McClaran > that you found on the Ancestry database.

I'm going to join Ancestry next week and so can explore more of their databases. Will forward whatever I find. > Regarding another of your messages of a few weeks ago.

I bought FTM 4.4 because it has some great print-outs, and also for access to some of their databases. IMHO, it is not nearly as good as a research program as either FO 6.0 or TMG. Has it's uses, but still a limited program as far as I am concerned. By the way - do you need any lookups in World Family Tree > vol. 1-12? I have all of them plus some census index and marriage CDs. Appreciate the offer, and will keep it in mind. At the moment, I don't. I've been so busy with the Harrison Co cemetery project, I really haven't done much on my own genealogy lately. I did down load a text file from the Carrie Camp Memorial Library website and have been inputting that data when I was too tired to work on the cemetery listings. > Sorry I've been a little slow and negligent in answering your messages. > No real excuses other than I've been spending a lot of my daytime hours > working in the yard and garden.

Can't blame you for spending the time outdoors when the weather is good! Helen and I got out and played tennis for about an hour this morning. When I have the choice of being outdoors on a nice day or doing genealogy, afraid the ancestors get put off until Autumn! Take care of yourself! All the best, Rusty >
