I usually do not post to the list, but I am pleased that there is someone
out there who doesn't mind sharing their research as much as I do. I do not
care either how much time or money I have spent (it has been plenty) I will
willingly and without question supply any information that I may have. I
have also meet numerous other researchers who do the same.

That is the joy in doing this research, sharing the information and knowing
that other's are enjoying the new found information as much as you do.

I recently sent a copy of a my heritage scrapbook to a cousin I had only met
with once. He was so pleased with it, that he gave me the ORIGINAL
final papers of my gg grandfather (among other documents) as he felt I would
appreciate them so much more. I beleive that when you share unsefishly, it
will come back to you three-fold! Happy searching! Kim Penrod, Overland
Park, KS.
