Hi Jackie, There's not too much that 'Mama don't allow' on this list - I LOVE the discussions of what life was like 'back when'! Names and dates are fine, but the best part of family history research is the 'meat on the bones'. So, please share these tidbits, like Peggy and Jackie have done. Some of these stories would be great for the H.C. Genealogical Society newsletter, too. If anyone wants to write a short - one page - article, please let me know. Deadline for the September issue will be August 1, and you can just send to me e-mail. Just about any topic is acceptable, as long as it has to do with Harrison Co. history and/or genealogy AND it's of general interest. I'm the new editor of the newsletter and need lots of help in filling out the 4 issues a year. Also, don't forget the H.C. Message boards http://www.rootsweb.com/~txharris/genconnect.htm Posting your queries on the list is great, but do it at the Query board, too. If you have wills, deeds, pensions, bios, obits, or Bible records for your H.C. ancestors, there's a place for you to share that information, too.
