  1. Wow - James thank you so much for your incredibly kind words about my "baby" :-) I appreciate your support in spreading the word about Olive Tree Genealogy which is still going strong after all these years.

    Sometimes I feel like a dinosaur so I thank you for reminding folks I'm out there with lots of goodies (free goodies) for them!
