Greetings, Thursday 13 July 2000 I agree with Cousin Mac... I shall depart this discussion of the organization of a Washburn Family Association from this list. I also agree with Cousin Mac that those that are not interested in such an organization would unsubscribe form this list. I would not want that as others would not gain by not having their inquiries. In the event that the Washburn Family Association does get off the ground...I'll shall make a formal announcement of it in the future. Thank's Mac for putting it straight!! And, many thanks to all of you who have contributed to this very "exciting" discussion! Cousin Chuck P.S.

Hi, I don't know if anyone has seen this or not but if you go to genealogy.com and go the community source there is a vritual cemetery there. I have added all my tombstone pictures I had. I had some Washburn's that were in my line and I believe there were some already there. This is a really neat idea for those that can not go across country or oceans to see head stones. Just thought I would mention it. Have a great evening everyone.. Valeria vreckert@indy.net
