With all respect, Mitzi, I have seen no questions concerning genealogy in general that go unanswered.  If folks will but ask, most of us undertake to help.  If we volunteer info, it is said we are pontificating; if we don't we are accused of ignoring the list.  I say, "Keep up the FINE work, Brent."

  The LOV list is nice to have.  It is like a closet, lots of
  stuffed stored in there but no one ever opens the door.

  I'm not placing blame here...as I don't know why we have
  become so inactive.  I suspect a part of it is that so many
  people got "shot at" over the years by the "holier-than-
  thou" crowd that every one took their queries and ran for
  cover.

  I belong to a list:

  Every day, all day they post data on genealogy.  People are
  encouraged to place queries and other members help them out
  by researching via checking their own in-house resources.
  Replies to the original query are to be sent to the whole
  list!  Constant input and exchange of history.

  I would encourage the keepers of the VA list to join the OLD
  CHESTER list for awhile and see if there is a way we can
  attain anything near this activity level.

  It will take better minds than mine to jump-start the list.
  Anyone up to it?

  Just a thought.
