I live at least 5 states away from my family lines and archives says 1 request at a time that means 2 to 3 months for each wrong lead depending on the archives. Also a reseach fee. There are me and others that depend on so many of you wonderful people that share and do look ups for us and are so thankfull for the wonderful people that share with us so willingly. For reasons I won't go into my chances of getting back to MO., VA., TN., KY., ILL., GA., are next to none.
When I started research I didn't have even a picture of my father but through the kindness of others I have even gotten pictures of my
gg-grandfather. There are so very many of us that can't travel or pay for sites. This is why we are so greatful to those that help and share. How many of us have family that will treasure our reseach when we are gone. How many of us if our house burnt down tomarrow has so freely shared that they could put this on some lists and people would start to send all these wonderful things you have shared. The best research is good if you make sure it out lives you and by doing you have to share with all you can.
