That makes us double cousins (see my Sherman pages).

The idea of a database sounds good in principal I definitely worth
looking into. I have all the space we need for a Sherman project. I
don't wish to go into details, but I would very definitely feel
uncomfortable having a RootsWeb Mailing List on Randy's web site. I have
set up a series of pages for my other RootsWeb Mailing List - Barker,
and I can do the same for Sherman. I have not because the Shermans of
Yaxley (SOY) organization has a very well established site for all
Sherman research.

I would strongly recommend that any such project either be part of the
SOY http://members.aol.com/macpinhead/sherman.html or space on RootsWeb.
If you are interested in pursuing a web site just for the RootsWeb
Mailing list and would like to see what I have done for the RootsWeb
Barker Mailing please visit
