Joseph,
My vote for "Open for discussion" is that once a year seems fair to me.

Thank you so very much for opening up this wonderful website! I have learned so much about my ancestor's and am constantly learning new things. We have a wonderful group of very informed and helpful members.

I don't agree with the last email about this only being a California group. Since I have joined I have noticed people from a variety of states. This is just as the forum say's just a topic that is open for discussion. I don't like when people get nasty or negative. Let's work together to make it work for all of us! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK JOSEPH AND STAFF!!

MUCHAS GRACIAS,
Maria Elena Gutierrez
