First of all I want to wish all our List Mothers a very HAPPY MOTHERS DAY. And List fathers, hang in there, your day is coming. Todays discussion thread is what this list is all about. Sharing little tidbits of information to help each other learn more about those that came before us and helped make us what and who we are today. Those were real people, with real hopes, dreams, memories, families, friends, enemies, neighbors, churches, schools and all that goes with peoples lives. They were more than census records, dates on tombstones or entries in someone's Bible. Our only hope is that in years to come someone, somewhere will find each of us worthy of mention. Thank all of you for taking the time out of your busy lives to share some little part of all the above with everyone else on the list. For those of you who haven't sent an introduction yet, it doesn't have to be fancy and it's OK if your just getting started in the wonderful pastime. We would all just like to know a little more about you and that makes it easier to help each other. As of 5:00pm Sunday May 11 we have 27 members of the TXTYLER-L list. If you know of anyone who has subscribed to this list and is not getting the messages please Email me. I have a couple of "bouncers" and I've added those to the TXTYLER-L page for this list. One more thing: Please include your Email address in the "text" section or in your signature and if you have a Homepage, please include that also.
