What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

FOREVER-AN "ON-GOING field 4 me. Have not found out many the "things-I myself have been looking 4 www.familysearch.org

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

Southern Heritage pt of "background -U will find that many "Southern "Records" R missing & a lot of "guess-work required. Don't B "afraid of "mistakes- "they R inevitable.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

Many do not like 2 "Address" the issue Southern Heritage- in the US 4 "political reasons" This is not me- due 2 this some records have I believe, been "missing or destroyed.
