Well said about not waiting till the last. So many don't want to discuss the past
and don't show any interest or co-operation with those doing research, but by
knowing the past and what are ancestors did and have, I feel should make us
appreciate more of what we have, especially in the way of technology. Just think
of the means available today for doing research, without even leaving your home.
So many good friends and people on the mailing lists willing to help.

I can't seem to get either one of my two daughters interested. One especially.
Haven't even found anyone so far on the web researching the ECROYD name, but so
thankful for those of you who have responded with information.
