I recently posted a message that included many surnames that I have in my database. However mostly/probably due to the fact that I neglected to inform people that the bulk of the information is available on my webpage (listed below in my signature), and, that my feelers were out so that interested people could _visit_ my webpage to verify possible connections, I ended up getting over 100 emails, mostly with comments like this... * "Please send me everything that you have on the "XXX" family." * "I'm a descendent of the "XXX" family, can you send me more information to see if we connect?" * "Do you know which part of Scotland the "XXX" family comes from?" * "I need more info, what are some of the given names with the "XXX" family? To begin with I want everyone to know that I am only upset with myself for not being clearer in my purpose for posting those surnames and have no quarrel with any of the people who sent me mail like this...it was my error that caused it all anyway. However with so many emails coming in over the next few days I finally threw my hands in the air and deleted all but the very few that appeared to come from addresses indicating no WWW (browser) connection or a probable genealogy connection. I will be gone this weekend and will be answering the few emails that appeared like possible connections when I get back...during next week. To the other people who wrote me (some genuine concerns) I need to ask to visit my webpage(s) to see if there might be any connection; the URL is in my signature at the end of this post. I apologise for any inconvenience...
