Greetings Fellow Family History Sleuths, Another intensive, genealogical month! Thanks so much to those of you in FL, NE, NY and CO who have hosted me recently. Thanks also to the many of you who have read, purchased and/or commented on my "Who Do You Think You Are?" companion book. I'm thrilled that it's already gone into another printing, and that's due to our ever-expanding community of family history buffs. Here's wishing you a month filled with as many new leaves on your family tree as on the ones in your yard or neighborhood! Take care,
