Rick: I view the idea of having the web page as the single repository for the currently accepted version of the Behymer genealogy, rather than distributing multiple versions over the mailing list. Of course, the initial posting will have many errors and/or omissions (I'm far from perfect). My idea is to solicit comments re what needs to be changed or annotated and then to post a new version after sufficient inputs have been received. Little by little we would arrive at something that all would agree upon (I hope). I like your suggestion of posting only the first 3 generations from Elder John and soliciting comments, however. That way I can continue to enter new data into TMG, which is mostly for the later generations, anyway, without affecting what is under evaluation and validation by the Behymer list. By limiting the initial posting to the first 3 generations, we would also limit the amout of "misinformation" that is posted to the net. Under the scrutiny (microscope?) of the researchers on this list, I doubt that any misinformation would be allowed to last for very long anyway <grin>. Once the first 3 generations have been validated, I could then post the genealogy though the fourth generation, and we could start the validation process all over again for the additional generation. I hope to post the initial release this weekend. Stay tuned. John Charles Tippet JohnDoeTippet@csi.com
