I'm a former member of that society.....not a very interesting bunch
anymore. If you have any unresolved issues, keep them to yourself, as they

Doris....A Texan in Georgia.....
still shaking the family tree

Society! It is a very interesting list. You might try posting your
information there. I had a great-grandfather who was a bigamist and we
found his other family by posting a notice there!
