Should it be allowed to stay? _http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~celebrities/manson.html_ I find it offensive....does anyone want the ancestry of one of the most famous Serial Killers on their message board? I don't. ----------------------- Marilyn, Whether or not you or I want a message about someone notorious on a board under our admin is irrelevant. The question you should be asking is whether or not it is on topic. If there is a clear connection to the board topic, and there is in this case, then it is on topic and should stay. Like it or not, Charles Manson seems to have been born in Hamilton County, Ohio. The boards are not there for us to "tidy up" history to our particular liking. They are there for researchers to help one another. Even the most notorious have family that want to trace their lineage. We, as board admins, should not be creating stumbling blocks just because one of their family tree branches isn't to our liking. Sharon Dulcich
