*Dear Susan: Many thanks for sharing your knowledge with me. I will copy your email and study it. I've done that with others and many times I'll just pull out the folder and re read what Listers have suggested and it helps direct me. This is one of those. I'm most grateful.
It helps so much when another researcher gives me a new perspective. For example, one thing that I've never really done as a practice is go back one year to find the first child's birth. That makes so much sense. I also wasn't thinking about counting the mother's childbearing age in more detail. It's easy for me to forget how different life was for them and that they had large families for many reasons. I had not spent time on Obits for the same reason you cited. Again, thanks so much for taking the time to help me out. P. S. I've seen the Vargas name in my ancestry from Cuba. All my research now is for my husband as it's a lot "easier" to search the records that have been microfilmed. Cuba hasn't. warm regards, Maria Elena * --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Follow the confirmation directions when they arrive.
