Well,
You've been a busy bee, Melissa. Have you found out anything on Robert
Castleberry in the War of 1812? or you going to post to the GenConnect
Boards?
Anything on the Forrester-Castleberry connection?
I've not had the time to do much research. We've had some family
problems. Oddly enough, I did pick up the Castleberry Census files
tonight and started back on those. Hopefully, I can get that project
completed soon and posted on the website.
The next reunion will be Saturday, Sept. 1, 2001 at Moro Bay State Park.
We have the air-conditioned building this time!

Hi, all,
Spent some time last weekend at the local library and picked up a few
