The More, the Merrier - a new Brooks!

It's always a pleasant surprise to find a new "cousin" researching one of our collateral lines, and happily, one found me last night. I had posted a notice on the Brooks Family Forum (on genealogy.com) for researchers of William Brooks (b. 1781 NC) to contact me, and so Carol B. R. did, and off we went. Carol is descended from a son of William (as am I), and will add one more piece to the big Brooks puzzle we're working together. Carol joined our private Brooks discussion group last night and I'm sure she'll find plenty of interest to keep her busy, as the group had posted 320 messages (as of last night) since starting up in January of this year.
