Geri,

I always read your emails with great anticipation......and
although most of the emails do not pertain to my family, I find
the information to be quite enlightening and valuable. I
greatly appreciate your efforts in forwarding such information
on to us all. One thing that I have pondered is this....where is
it that you get this info? By that I mean, for the most part, does it come
from
courthouse records, readings or what? It appears that you
spend countless hours in your efforts and you are truly a generous
person to share your finds with others. It's people like you who
are a constant reminder to me that if only more people could be so
caring, the world could be a better place. Thank you. Debbie
