<DIV> My great-grandfather made the trip in the 1840's and was well know for his humor! It is humor that allowed our ancestors to survive the trials of the trip west!
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Nancy, I am so sorry that you don't want to be related to any of us, but relieved; I already have a "judgement" sister to whom life is black and white and has trouble laughing!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You have said you could contribute to the list but won't and yet you condemn those that contribute every chance they can. Somehow the picture I derive is very selfish and ugly. Thank goodness that after over ten years we have establish a rapport and can attribute many finds in spite of our enjoying life. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I was very fortunate to have in my life a woman that made the trip from St Louis to Wyoming on foot as a child. Her stories stressed the fact that we need humor to get through life. Life presents many adversities and we have two choices in dealing with them, "laugh and get on with life" or "sink with despair". "Laugh and the world laughs with you; Cry and you cry alone"! I hope you are not ever visited with any of the trials that many on our list overcome. You would be a very unhappy, lonely person!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Nancy, I hope you enjoy keeping your ancesters to yourself. If we are meant to fill in our missing gaps with your ancestors we WILL find the information without you!</DIV>
