Thanks, Scott. Yes, I am quite sensitive to her feelings. Don't want to
get her to go where she doesn't want to go, but I would like to tap into
that vein of information. How would I go about that? Does she accept new
members? As I mentioned to Beverly, thanks to a tip from a member of this
Canfield group and information found in the Rose Canfield Collection, I
connected MY Canfield's to Matthew's line. I found Orsemus 8 connected to
Ira 7 and Silas 6, etc. Wonderful! Now to do the verifying of the
information. Thanks for your input. Always nice to have other, more
experienced and knowledgeable eyes keeping tabs on us fledglings. Take
care. Sandy Childs

Sandy & Beverly:
I just received my new quarterly issue of the Canfield Family Association
Publication. They are back in service. It would be great to get her
information computerized, but I am glad to hear that you are sensitive to
her feeling protective of her collection. Beverly, you might write her a
letter and tell about your hospital experience and realization about the
future of your genealogical collection. It couldn't hurt.
Good luck,
Scott Canfield

Sandy--yes, the editor of the Canfield Newsletter has 15-25 years of
collection. She may not have it input into any gen. software, soooo it
would be the problem of having to lend out her hard copies, BUT she could
have people volunteer to xerox her originals and then input or scan.
THERE IS A WAY of doing this.
I was just as protective of my collection until I fell and was quickly
dying in the intensive ward!!! Blood pressure dropped quickly after
surgery and I was peacefully going.
I swore if I got back to my house that all hard copies would immediately
go to my local gen. society. That is what I did and then started over
with new folders for the newer info.
Am in a wheelchair and doing fine.
Canfields are my direct line.
