Elizabeth, I can relate to what you wrote. I, too, have the information on my direct lines back to the beginning of the records and a little further back. I have not done research on the "peripheral" lines, as I call the cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. However, by continuing to monitor the list, I have made connections with distant cousins and have shared my info. and they have shared their info. So.....I continue to add to my files and have even found that some of us are related more closely than I would ever have thought. The "books" as I call them, were intended to give my children and grandchildren a view of my journey "Back to the beginning," as I have called my journey back to my beginnings. I encourage you to continue to help others as you were helped. Celeste, Hayward, CA.

I am sure I could continue by filling in the families of "cousins" but I'm tired. However, I must say I could NOT have done it without the help of "fellow listers like yourselves", but...ESPECIALLY Joe RAPOSO.....He contributed greatly to my geneatlogy research even to the point that the info he gave me on my mother's family "connected" to the info I already had on my Dad's and now I have been able to complete both lines. Thanks again to all who have helped in the past...I will never forget you and to Joe RAPOSO......an especially B-I-G "THANK YOU. I will sign off now and wish all of you success in your search.....
