I am new to this mail list - I've already received a few VERY helpful "forwarded" posts ( thanks "mw" - you know who you are! ) - but I'm also wondering if there is a digest available of old mail. I have a few questions I'm sure you "regulars" are probably very tired of hearing! I'd love info on books - my library only has a fifth edition of Weis's Ancestral Roots - and that's it! What are Brenton's books? ALL my other research is from online geneaology sites and some notes a relative sent me made from Ada Haight's book ( and I can hardly read their handwriting! ) My name is Susan Sawhill Apito. My "Washburn" is Helen Emily Washburn, daughter of Benjamin and Mary Ann Secor. I haven't been able to verify them yet ( I started this whole project as a "home school" project for my 11 year old.......got obsessed......now it's MY project! ) I feel pretty proud of how far I've gotten in only about three weeks though! ( My family thinks I'm nuts for being so excited we're related to William the Conqueor - they ask me when my Tiara is coming in the mail!! ) Sue
