Dear Cuz Mary Alice, We will have only about three hours at the Archives, and it is a very small place, we are going to have full staff to help us plus Hazel Formby the local genealogy guru, helping us, which will help... What we usually do is assign each person a task of looking through either books microfiche what ever and writing up the slips of paper for them to pull us the copies, we pull everything that is Wynne based and or related spouses. We will be working specifically on three generations, i.e. Dr. T's fathers, Dr. T's and Tabitha's... Any thing else we find is extra sweets. Once we see how many of the 10 people are needed to cover those bases then the others can look up what they wish, as long as their requests don't hamper the archivist from pulling the Wynne stuff. When we do this requesting, we don't spend a lot of time figuring out if it is ours or not, or how it is related we pull all for that specific area, we can weed out the extra's later, but this way nothing gets missed, and it helps us to see the other lines that were in that area, so we know the others in the area and tell our guys from their guys. The thing about this trip that will be different is that we will have to split up the cost of the copies, where as at the past reunions I have paid for them either out of my pocket or the funds of the WGS. With the plaques that I am getting for the City of Caerwys and Mayor Phillip etc there will not be the extra cash available for that. But it shouldn't cost any one of the group more than $5-8 dollars. But what great documents. Also we will not have copiers there to make copies for everyone like we do at the usual reunions so I will bring the documents home to Texas and copy/send them to who ever wants them.
