Marquel, and Others: I am sorry you are offended by my hardball argument with Tom. See my recent and followup messages if you doubt my appreciation of Tom King and his wealth of background and information. Yes, it is embarrassing to APPEAR to be wrong on a national bulletin board. Hard research requires some tough challenges of the information and it's sources. If I were not very interested in obtaining an ultimate truth, I would not ask difficult questions myself, or challenge Tom's version with my own convictions. We may or may not agree when the dust settles. I appreciate the opportunity to engage. Tom will confirm that I purposely directed my questions to the BREEDLOVE-L list rather than use a personal e-mail to Tom, expecting his replies to be returned in the same way. I take full responsibility for the hard discussion you witnessed. My information and research is for all to see and share. I am blessed by the success I have had in researching my family line and I owe a great deal to this forum. Sincerely, Bill Breedlove Las Cruces, NM
