All Resources: Thanks

[Joseph Puentes <makas@...>]

thank you so much for this encouragement. I can't tell you why but early
on in my use of the FamilySearch website I've gotten used to using the IGI
"only" and I can see now that I really need to be doing my searches using
the "all resources" search feature.

thanks again. . .I'm converted.
