I am sorry if this is not what is suppose to be talked about in here, but I just wanted to say to all the members of this list...I pray that all of the families kin to all of you, that were in the path of Hurricane Katrina are accounted for, save, dry and out of harms way. I also send heart felt prayers to those that did not make it and their family members too.God bless Louisiana and all the other Gulf coast areas that were hit. Thanks. Debra P.S. So much for vital records of the great state of Louisiana....they probably are gone.

Just to let you know I'm OK. You can read my story and others online at: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=message&r=rw&p=hurricanekatrina2005&m=9 Gene Phillips
