-- [ From: Jeanne Barton * EMC.Ver #2.5.3 ] -- Sandra: I agree, ref. the Mary Ball Museum Library - and Lancaster is a memorable place to visit. Doesn't hurt that I have the Ball name <g>. I just love the entire N Neck area. This time of year you will run into the jonquil, aka daffodil farms - miles of yellow blossoms... Did you happen to have lunch at the small family restaurant across from the MB Library? Neat experience - everything is served "family style." i.e ., bowls of homemade food are set out on the tables for all to participate... This is a very safe area, and the people are about as friendly as can be. VA, all in all, is "user friendly" to genealogists , as history is their main product. Jeanne next door, in Maryland
