Wow again! Lynn Stockard of course has a point, but I'm glad I annoyed the whole slew of descendants from the state of Indiana because this brings up another point, among many, where genealogical research is concerned. This reply, while again valid for its reason, is a perfect example of out modern mentality in relation to our modern, and sorry, but often selfish, state of mind. A genealogical search to satisfy one's OWN curiousity is fine of course but to what avail and whose benefit other than your own or your own progeny? I'm so glad this curt cut-off came up because it gives me the opportunity to point out, again, that a better reason to add to our own naturally self-centered curiousity is that of considering ourselves to be part of a whole. Ny search did not begin that way for me--I'm no saint either--but it has evolved to become one to tell the world (as others are also saying) that we are, in some way, all connected. And though it would hamper our research, and perhaps clog our computers to hear of the troubles of so many others...well, "THAT is what family is for!" And so maybe that is also what geneaology is for. And Lynn, you can't stay mad at me for contradicting you or for being another one to have passed the prayer around; My great-great-grandfather onmy mother's side was John James Falihee and his wife, Catherine Dalton; and they were from Ft. Wayne Indiana. Oh yeah, and my great-great-grandmother on the other side was julia Anna, surname O' added to Connor, which means descendent of Connor. So you see, we are all connected somehow and need to help one another if/when we can, and forget the inconvenience. Jenny Wallace Warsen. (Not the black sheep but maybe the blaaaahbiest sheep in the family) May I please join the Indiana mailing list? ps: Hey Dennis Stein, Did I mention that after my own brain surgery the scans revealed that some part of my tumor had remained? No surprise. It had been attached to the criss-crossing optic nerve, and dared not be removed. Lo and behold though, just as in Nancy's case, the scans six months later showed no tumor at all: I'd started praying again...and mom had friends praying all over the country. Just as we did with Nan. And we may have annoyed a lot of you out there...but you others--the lot that we didn't--may just have heard...and been heard themselves. Time. One of the greatest gifts of charity. jww ---------- From: "Dennis W.
