Dear Joseph:
It is good to hear from you. I haven't written on the list since it got
started and I was living in Germany - but I thought I would respond to your

Cousin Joe,
I share your frustration with finding information is not as we thought it was.
I too recently deleted years of research on a family line that seemed to be
correct,
was apparently documented and flowed smoothly into the family line.
Just a couple of weeks ago I deleted the WHOLE line. It wasn't mine (actually
my husband's) that I had looked for many years and was so proud to have and

Having confessed to myself that this was the wrong and starting over, we

Hi,
