Hi Emma and Sondra:

I don't think the list is restricted to only one family. I believe what Pat
said was that when she began the list, most of the people who subscribed
just happened to be working on that particular line.

I have TWO different Rhea lines, and have been welcomed with open arms by
everyone in RHEA-L. In fact, I was asked to be the group leader for my
second Rhea line (James/Jesse Rhea) which is not connected to the
Archibald/Matthew the Rebel line, insofar as I've been able to determine.

I've been waiting for someone else to respond to the discussion, and hope
this helps. I've found everyone in this list to be extremely helpful and
willing to answer questions and search their files to look for clues that
might help the new subscriber. Don't give up your search -- I'm still
looking for my 4-great-grandfather, "Unknown Rhea!!"
