Check out Monica Diesma posting the same message to many people, I think it is spam to get in contact with people. Jim.

Trying to find the right pedagogy to learn this has left me feeling like a deer looking at an oncoming car at night with bright headlights on. Larry

At 8:26pm on November 10, 2010, Ellen Healy said…: Hi, Gena, I really love the lists of sites you have been posting in the newsletter. They are very helpful, and I just copied the ones from todays' newsletter on military records. One question I have is do you know of any good sites where records of the Spanish-American War are listed?
