Sue you must be reading my mind your letter echoes my thoughts exactly. My
genealogy hobby/obsession/necessity has gone on since 1970 I was given PAF
found BROTHERS KEEPER and ANCESTRY [not the one that we know of today]
GENERATIONS
Got myself welded to FAMILY TREE MAKER then God blessed me by showing me
LEGACY My massive stroke in 1998 nearly finished my days at computer or
genealogy because it paralyzed my left side. LEGACY has helped to take my
data base from the 35,000 mark in 1998 to the present 71,578 persons in my
LEGACY . these discussions are vital to me and have helped me tremendously.
Like Sue says my family does not share my passion for genealogy either but
most on this list makes up for that THANK YOU MY LEGACY FAMILY! ! !
Love, Light, Rainbows & Blessings
