To all the CATE list:
I am a strong believer in 'networking' to find alusive genealogy connections
and I believe in following up even the smallest lead.
Just this noon I have made contact with 2 descendents from different
children of my Norwood Cates. If it were not for the Internet it would not
have happened. I had clues of where they lived but no names. By using the
phone search sites on the Internet I made contact with a person in Oklahoma
who in turn, sent me the address of her cousin, and the latter gave me the
address of yet another cousin.
Both women were extremely delighted when I phoned them within the past hr.
We have agreed to exchange family data as soon as we can get it together to
mail. I can provide them with Norwood's parents names, etc. and they can
give me data on some of his children's descendents that I do not have.
So follow up on any lead that comes your way. I have worked on the above
line for abt 25 yrs with little success then BINGO, with the internet I have
been able to pull it together.
Regards. Bettye
