Hello All!
As I am sure you already know, the kids are back in school and there are
lots of holidays comming up. This is a great time to get back into the swing
hanging from your proverbial Genealogical Family Tree!
What better way then to start posting to the list again? Even if you have
sent the information that you have or are looking for before, post it again!
There are so many new people joining every day that you never know just who
is going to see that particular post and say HEY!, thats the person/ people
I am looking for!
Then what you have done is to meet a new cousin and wouldnt it be wonderful
to have someone else to send a gift to at the holidays?
If you were told stories about members of your family, post them, you never
know when someone will say, hey I had family in that area, or maybe they can
look back and remember that they were told that same exact story.
Sometimes stories can bring people together when they dont even know the
names of the ancestors that they are looking for. Dates, Places, Times, all
of this can bring families together from long ago. For instance..You may be
looking for Jane Doe from Statesville in 1864, but the next person is
looking for John Deer from Statesville in 1864. Now in 1864 Statesville was
a tiny town of 80 settlers, but Jane Doe and John Deer are related by being
brother and sister becuase Jane had to change her name when she married
Harry Doe 2 years earlier....get it????
We hope to hear your stories of Jane, John and Harry Whoever or just to see
you ask if anyone else knew them!
Until the next apple falls from the tree I remain your List Mom,
