Hi I - was sitting in the chat room today reading profiles. (There is a list of people on line there.) It was interesting reading about your connection to Texas history and the photographs of your relatives. I work doing tours in Gettysburg and it is interesting meeting people who are so closely related to history and care about that history. (Did you have any relatives at Gettysburg?)

I have BEACH ancestry in New England.

Cheryl - That Bang the Drum Slowly is an Emmylou Harris song. The version on my page that you saw on my page was not done by me but one I found on You Tube and posted because it had family pictures. His version is a little different than Emmylou's because her version refers to "peace over Arlington" and the version you saw is about an Englishman and wouldn't be appropriate to mention Arlington.
