I still don't have a video of my presentation in washington dc. . . I'm getting a little bothered about this. 3rdthawkins: Seventies Soulchild alt that was my main thinking, something has to spark someone to search, you have to post, you never know who is searching, something happens to spark a person to search, even if not for genealogical reasons, alt: new folks just dtaring their research and folks who have let the research slip for a few years. Seventies Soulchild: right. 3rdthawkins: even if it takes 10 years Spivey: South Carolina vkn, but other states are not to be discounted. He was Jewish and I think did at one time live in Florida.
