FAMILY="SANSSERIF" PTSIZE="10">I agree wholeheartedly. Some of us
reading this list are genealogists because we are interested in history.
Linking our own families to historical timelines gives history a dimension not
found in the text books. I've found over the years that the people most
willing to help me out with a check of a local cemetery or courthouse or
newspaper archive are those genealogists to whom the whole field is a giant
puzzle to be solved. <BR><BR>Seeing the reference to Del's in Medford not only
made me smile remembering a long-ago first date and Del's famous barbecue beef
burger...it also made me realize that shared experiences, no matter how
trivial, are history in the making. The mundane events of daily life are much
more to the point than the epic events that make Time magazine
covers.<BR><BR>Besides, this list goes dormant for days or weeks at a time,
and if it takes a reference to onions, roses, or hamburgers to wake it up,
then so much the better!<BR></BLOCKQUOTE></FONT></FONT></BODY></HTML>
