Subject: !!!NEW UPDATE - IGI Search Facility now includes USA!!!
Dear Listers -
I am so pleased to be able to announce this news. An incredible thing has
happened for those searching for kindred connections in the USA. Our
terrifically wonderful Hugh Wallis has done it again!!! Yes, you can now
search the IGI by town, county and state with only a surname... What was
done for the UK has graciously been extended to US records by harnessing
the information so lovingly put together by the LDS.
Use this new search feature here:

Hugh, we salute you! Your philanthropic work is a gift we appreciate.
Best wishes to all,

<<Dear Hugh,
<As I am quite sure you know, all of the Rootsweb mailings lists are
<quite atwitter with your grand performance on putting together this <new
IGI search facility for the UK. I have personally benefited a <great
deal from your work already and thank you heartily for it.
<As I subscribe to the LDS-Lessons list, others were asking when this
<was going to be done for other places, such as the United States. I
<replied to the list that you had done this work on your own and <unless
someone wanted to accumulate the data and ask if you would <share the
programming needed, it probably wasn't going to happen <anytime soon. >>

Peter likely did not have a coat of arms inasmuch as he was a bonded servant when he arrived in America.

Dear Listers:
I am going to begin a search for 3, possibly 4 children who were adopted in the early 1950's. Their mother was Virgie Coffey. Her parents were Thomas Jefferson Coffey and Isabelle Perry Coffey. Virgie was most likely born in Harlan Co., KY but am not sure.
Virgie married Grover Smith and they had probably 4 children in rapid order. As of this email I do not have the names of these kids but will have by tonight. I believe the oldest child was named Bobbie Gin. She was born July or August 1944. The parents of these children were unable to take care of them in the manner they needed and all the children were put up, probably by the state, for adoption. I believe they went through Chattnooga Children's Home, or eventually through Nashville/Knoxville, TN.
Bobbie Gin would have been 8-9-10-11 depending on the actual adoption date. The family of Virgie often talked about locating the children and did so for years. Now that part of the family is gone and I think it's time to do something about locating these missing sister and brothers. We now are of the same generation as these kids and we want to find them for they are our blood kin.
If anyone can provide me any ideas or suggestions on how to start this search, please do. As the kids, especially Bobbie Gin and her brother (Eddie?) were older when adopted, they would have memories of their background.
Thanks,
Sheri Kelly
