I agree that we should all help. I check my vast variety of lists several
times a day...don't know where I would be without it. I also belong to
several family organizations, the National Genealogical Society and my
local. I write those checks once a year and smile. Why don't I do the same
for something I use every day...I just never thought about who paid for this
great service, but I will now gladly send something. I don't need another
cook book...who has time to cook when I am busy searching for ancestors so I
am going to send a check right to them. If everyone reading this list sent
$1.00 think how much that would help out.
