Hi Margaret,

I have two of what I call "solidly built, concrete-block walls"
(genealogically speaking), and they both are on the same family tree.

So, that is the category I keep them in. And, every once in a while, I
place a query in case newcomers to the Lists haven't seen my queries before
!

(Been on the Lists for 4+ years.)

The "walls" I just mentioned are for the 1800's. I don't have the time
or patience for what could be "concrete-block walls" if they involve the
1600's and 1700's. And, since I am limited to on-line resources and local
libraries, I don't spend too much time on the 1900's.


You know the funny expression - Life is too short - Eat dessert first !
??
Maybe everyone should eat dessert .. "before" spending hours on genealogy !
:o)
:o)

Betty
