Barbara, Yes, we're still here. Been genealogically dysfunctional for a while due to a dangerously low time level. I checked out your working census project, and I must say it contains much nift. It's better than so many other things I can think of... too many to list. I'm interested in any and all people of the LAIRD or LARD persuasion throughout the span of Tyler Co. history. They first appeared in the SETexas area around 1840 or so. Will offer better detail as soon as I can figure out how to give up this time-wasting, reprehensible habit I have of sleeping at night. G'night, Russell Laird Mt. Vernon, TX
