I personally don't think it is rude. You never know. You might actually connect with someone who may have a link needed in your genealogy. I have had people call because they saw a Hopkins in the phone book and they are curious to know if we are related.

I think it is a great idea. I've done it many times when I'm traveling and in a strange city/town. I've had some wonderful conversations with people I've never met sharing my Broadhurst surname. I don't really think there are that many of us in this country so I take advantage of every opportunity to learn about other Broadhurst.     Gloria --- On Wed, 11/12/08, Rosemary Hopkins <rhopkins523@gmail.com> wrote: > From: Rosemary Hopkins <rhopkins523@gmail.com> > Subject: Re: [BROADHURST] BROADHURST Digest, Vol 3, Issue 23 > To: broadhurst@rootsweb.com > Date: Wednesday, November 12, 2008, 8:52 PM > I personally don't think it is rude.
