Exactly my point. His posts are a link to information and old photos of schools. That is very definitely history related and so has something to do with family history. See what I have on Lancaster County Nebraska Schools and tell me that this is not genealogy related. I have been doing this a long time and this guy is not profiting from his collection of information and photos. I think removing his posts if they are on topic for a particular county is doing a disservice to those researchers who may also have TEACHERS in their family tree. http://lancaster.ancestralwhispers.com/ http://lancaster.ancestralwhispers.com/schools/index.htm On Fri, Mar 7, 2008 at 7:19 PM, singhals <[email protected]> wrote: > I can agree with that.
