Betty,
Hi. I was wondering about Sharon. How is she doing? By the way I am
getting better. Just a few more weeks and should be in tip top shape.

Darlene I started one for Tipton also but I haven't had a lot of
response.
My Ky lists are booming with over 100 subscriptions each and about 50 on
digest....
Frankly I don't know enough about Tipton to help the list. In Kentucky - I
started out with old abstracts of newspapers - about drownings, shootings,
asylum committments, obituaries . Surnames and queries were put on, wills
have shown up, and some have even posted their information and given a site
to view their family pictures. What I did when I started these list was to
send an e-mail to every one that had posted a query or a surname and
inviting them to the list. So far that hasn't worked too well in Tipton.
I'm hoping when Sharon improves she can give me some suggestions...
