Thanks Jan,
for the encouragement. Everybody knows these 'brick walls' will give you a lot of migraines. I usually just put stuff to the side, have a mental talk with the ancestors, then go back when my head is cleared. Then someone like you puts a posting up that sparks my mind. The court house thing, is someting I did not think about. I am going to try that when all of this Christmas activity slows down. It took 2 years one time for a cousin I have never met to see a posting that came from Afrigeneas. I still haven't met her, but I know her name, where she is and she is descended from a surname I have had no luck with. So yeh, sometimes you just TAKE A REST.
