This is a really neat site -- there are 147 Youngers listed. If we all got busy and added our folks, we'd probably flood the site!

There are lots of cemeteries online now, but you have to know the names of them. There are lots of kind folks out there walking the cemeteries and recording what they can decipher from the stones. So, if any of you are out there, my thanks goes out to you! Genealogy has really taken the interests of people by storm, of recent years and seems to be getting more and more popular. You know how popular it is when you see ads on tv for genealogy programs :) Wilma, anyone wanting to send me their GEDcom file or whatever is welcome to do so. I have done this with the MIMS and WOODSON lists and when I was "finished" with my searches on those names I made a GEDcom of the combined works available for them to do with as they wished. I think it turned out well. It was my way of thanks to those who helped me with my Youngers. The only drawback once again is those "source fields" which seem not to transfer well. I tried a txt file, but then you have to go over each name individually and it can get quite LONG and some get left out. Hopefully one day someone will write a program that will surpass the GEDcom file. Someday after I get this book done, I hope to put up a website with these names that I have done extensive searches on. If only there were more than 24 hours in a day!!
