Hi Liz, If my memory is correct I met you at a family reunion
(Crouch/Lawyer, etc. in the Orange Room at Salem a few summers back. The
Heritage Book sounds very interesting. I have a good many pictures of
Roberts and Nisbett families and friends, possibly even a picture of Celia
Singleton and friends. But, and this is a big BUT, I am 82 and have a bad
back, so do not feel up to searching through everything to pick out the
Fulton County pictures and family history. Tell me something about what
you wish to include, and I could forward a few items as I come across
them.
