Just a note to the list:
Not long ago, my sister and I began writing to a fellow concerning our
Chambers line. We are, as it turns out, distant cousins. We also live at
opposite ends of the country. He asked us if we knew another researcher,
_____ _____, "out that way" in Calif. I pulled up the internet white
pages, and it turns out that this person lives only 7 miles away and works in
the same town that my sister and I live in! We are also cousins! Our
families moved out to California during the "Dust Bowl" era. Our originals
came from the Campbell/ Dunklin Co. area of Missouri. Would love to connect
with other researchers doing work in this area. We have met with our new
cousin a couple of times and are planning to have a nice dinner or BBQ and
share our pictures, etc. It's a wonderful feeling to meet those unknown
relatives!
Just wanted to share our good fortune!
