ATTACHMENTS:
Any message with an attachment WILL NOT go to
the list. If you need to send a file or a pic, please send it by
private email, and always ask your recipient first! And, if
possible, please turn off any fancy formatting (MIME) for your
mailing program. Thanks!
=======================================================
REPLYING TO MESSAGES:
In the interest of brevity, if you use the "reply" option on your
mailer, PLEASE delete the parts of the original message that are
unnecessary to your reply. Keep only that part to which you are
replying. And be sure to edit the SUBJECT LINE of your reply,
changing it when necessary. Sometimes the conversations end up in a
totally different place
than where they started, and folks who only scan the subject lines
might miss an important post! Thanks!

Message Board Post:

I am descended from Robert Rabb via Martha Rabb & James Lyles Goree;
John Rabb Goree/Sarah Elizabeth King; Narcissa Goree/Felix Tait;
Felix Tait/Fannie Merriweather; Julia Tait Kimbell (my paternal
grandmother...southern blue blood if there ever was one :)))). I am
keenly interested on the Rabb history. Saw a reference to a
relocation of Rabbs from Bucks County PA to SC. I would love to know
more bio information on Robert and his wives....who he was, what he
did -- what his daughter Martha's life was like etc. Would also be
interested in knowing about any portraits of said folks. Would also
love to know what, if any connection this line of Rabb has with John
Wesley Rabb of CSA 4th Texas fame.

Thanks a bunch! Please feel free to e-mail me directly.
