Everyone who signed up for the VALDRES-L list got the message. :o) None of my business but ---- I get concerned when people put down their full name, address and phone number. I don't know how many people are on this list - but - maybe caution would be better. I'm on other lists - and its amazing how many folks announce they are going on vacation for 3 weeks starting next Monday - and then sign with name, address, city, state! Exchange private information with direct email to recipient - not to a list of unknowns. Maybe I'm just too cautious - but I've seen lots of schemes in my 8 years on the web. Happy Ancestor Hunting!!! (I have Bakken's but no Bakke's - - -sorry) Trudy >> Oh Trudy ! How right you are? What was I thinking? I goofed because I meant to send it direct to Barry ? the one who wrote the original message but again, I was too quick on the trigger finger and hit "send" before I changed the "To:" so I"m sorry, can you retrieve it before it goes out to the whole list ??? Thanks, Charlotte
