The topic of American Hessian History and "OUR" Hessian pride. and you can always find another list on a strict listing of only Hessian Ancestors.. Nelda L. Percival - my websites http://freepages.folklore.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~bonsteinandgilpin/index.htm http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~bonsteinandgilpin/ Administrator of Y-DNA surname projects Gilpin, Cupp, Bonstein Web Mistress for LCRG - http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~molcgdrg
Nelda, As a former list administrator, I find your lack of understanding of the purpose of RootsWeb mailing lists appalling. To refresh the list, here are excerpts of guidelines from RootsWeb (of which I have been a member since 1996). > WHAT IS A MAIL LIST? from http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/help/mail1.html#Q2 > A mailing list is a way of forwarding messages to others who are > interested in the same genealogical research as you.

What is the purpose of the Hessian mail list: > [email protected] is a mailing list for anyone with a > genealogical interest in the Hessian soldiers (German auxiliary troops > employed by King George III of England) who remained in America after > the American Revolution. What does RootsWeb say about the buying, selling, and trading of trinkets on their mail list system: > WHAT IS SPAM? HOW DO I STOP IT? Spam is the name given to any unwanted > e-mail. Generally, it is mass mailings offering get rich quick > schemes, advertisements, porn, virus warnings, hoaxes, etc. What does Nelda L. Percival say about the topic of interest on amrev-hessians: > The topic of American Hessian History and "OUR" Hessian pride. and you > can always find another list on a strict listing of only Hessian > Ancestors..Nelda L. Percival - my websites > http://freepages.folklore.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~bonsteinandgilpin/index.htm > http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~bonsteinandgilpin/ It appears Nelda considers herself as an elite member of "OUR Hessian pride". Nelda, what is "YOUR" Hessian pride as opposed to, say, my interest in my 4th great grandfather, Christoph Bornhaus, born 14 Oct 1757, in Datterode, Hessen-Kassel? -- Dan Cooley
