Joyce, Thanks for your prompt response. I have gone back and looked through your Tri-County site. Your program is so well organized that most of those sites are referenced through other options. I can tell you put your heart and soul into this project. You really have an outstanding setup. Unfortunately I still was not able to see any information about my family line. I did notice several places where you ask the inquirer to share their information. So here is what I have put together, I know there are several good stories in there I just need to capture a little more info. Thanks for all you do. Sid Thurston
