Dear Becky, For myself, I would love to go to the archives and was looking forward to it. There were several things/names I was wanting to find besides our main thing of research on Dr Thomas and Martha Buttall. But IF you need me to step down. Love Joyce Gail -----Original Message----- From: The Thill Group, Inc.

Dear Cuz's, I had mentioned that we are trying to go to the Archives in Hawarden to do research. We are going. Mayor Phillip has arranged for Hazel Formby the Local Historian/Genealogy Guru of the Caerwys Area, to go with us. She has a major genealogy column in the local papers etc. She is also the wonderful lady that gave Mayor Phillip the copy of the Wynne Bible when we were fighting Gary Boyd Roberts. The Archives will be closed to the public, only we will be allowed in during our time. Hooray Mayor Phillip!!! Problem [seems there is always one doesn't there!!] The archives and their machines can only handle 12 people efficiently, then minus two more places for Mayor Phillip and Hazel Formby... leaves us with only 10 places. Solution: We remove the spouses, friends etc. [23 going - sp. & Fr. = 17] We then take volunteers to step out of the count. So far Joyce [Queenie] and Susan Wright have already stepped down. Both said they would go, but they don't need to go, and are happy to chill out that morning because that is the same day as the County reception in Mold and also the Concert in Mold, among other things so it will be non stop from morning till night. With not going to the Archives you would start your day with us at noon other wise your day will start with us at 8:30am. At the archives we will be doing as we have in the past we will divide up with each having tasks of looking through a set of records which will then be copied and then we will be able to share with all of us. So your not going is not going to leave you out of getting a copy of something. These are 17 actual WGS members going to Wales: 1 Alice Neff 2 Debbie Hunter 3 Linda Shabo 4 Joan Bretz 5 Merle Millheim 6 Amy Humphries 7 Becky Wynn Thill 8 Joyce Quigley - Not Going 9 Vi Grooms-Alban 10 Ida Cann 11 Betty McGehee 12 Joyce Gail Stewart 13 Sharon Underhill 14 Susan Grove 15 Susan Wright - Not Going 16 Janet Beard 17 Mary Alice Shaw Minus Joyce [Queenie] and Susan Wright. we now have 15 members applicable to go to the Archives. We need five members to step down so we have 10. PLEASE RESPOND if you want to go OR don't want to go. I want ALL TO RESPOND one way or another.
