Sorry guy's, I thought paf stood for (personal ancestral files) ...I am not to good with this computer stuff...lol. ( now I feel kind of dumb :) ) I meant gedcom files. Another cousin who I met on line, sent me her files on another branch of the family.So I could read it. I found a few clues for both of us.I had stuff she did not...in my papers & She had names of towns etc. in hers that led me in another direction that I may have over looked. And bingo ! I found who I was looking for. I think it is great fun to sit and read about history in general. I have hundreds of papers on Younger's who I am sure I will never connect to the family.But I keep them anyway... you just never know.Now that I finally have a scanner I will have to start scanning them all.So I can have them ready when needed. I was just hoping I might see something that would be a break through in my brick wall. I have been trying to find my missing G-ma for years.And in the mean time have had to buy another big file cabinet.to store all the things I find about everyone else's relatives ....lol...just my luck. Anyway I thought if anyone would be willing to send some stuff for me to read over.I just might find a clue. Thanks again, Leni --------------------------------- Don't pick lemons.
