Did a typical google on my brick wall of Charles Mason married Anna Kennell Speelman... and GOT A HIT!!!!!!

I was SO excited, and then got sent around to these odd ball sites that just had a little bit of something to whet my appetite......

and then found the original quote.

Which was from me, complaining about not being able to find anything on Charles and Anna.... on City Data...

Sorry Tallysmom, I'm laughing out loud ... not actually at you, but with you ... have run into that EXACT same thing in the past.

Ditto. If I had a dollar for every time I ended up chasing myself on Google, I could hire someone else to do my family tree! Tis maddening though to come to the end of the line and find yourself reading yourself.

This happens to me all the time! LOL! One incident though which really, really had me raging mad was when I FINALLY thought I had a legitimate hit on my great-great-grandfather, clicked on the link and was taken to a LIVE sex web camera!!!! You should have heard the cussing and swearing

Keep trying. You never know. I broke a brick wall a couple of years ago. Seems like yesterday.
