When it comes to genealogical lists, silence isn't is golden.... it defeats the whole purpose. I am new here, but subscribed for several years to several very active and helpful lists... they stay active by periodically posting their 'brick walls' and information about what family or families they are working on in an area. Would some members here be willing to post what families (names, dates & locations when known) you are working on so that it will be possible for those working on the same lines to connect and share the more detailed information. I posted mine yesterday. It is quite possible I have or have access to information on some of your lines - especially those in the southern USA. I live in TN near the East TN Historical Society - four floors of detailed information about east & middle TN, western NC & SC, southern KY & VA and northeast GA - some of which are not available from any other source. I am going to Wilson Co TN this weekend to take my mother and her sisters to see where their maternal grandmother's family lived and are buried. My grandmother's mother had died when she was two weeks old and no one knew exactly who she was or where she was from - it took me 25 years to find her. Some of the ROBERTSON's from Halifax Co settled in the area and married into this family including my g-g-grandfather, Charles L. ROBERTSON (~1840 VA), son of Anthony B. ROBERTSON (1813 Halifax Co VA). Renee
