Phyllis, I'm sorry but I totally agree with the other dissenters and I, too, thought of unsubscribing. To do so would only be hurting myself but if this narrow-mindedness continues, I will unsubscribe. I belong to 20+ lists and few if any have as little activity as this one nor are any as restrictive. Keep this up and nobody will want to belong. Genealogy knows no borders and we are all in this together: helping hands helping others. Most certainly Quesnell is in BC but please don't berate a user for making an honest mistake. I have relatives/ancestors from and in many countries and I include our Maritime provinces, Ontario and all four western provinces. In not one have I ever read such a restrictive attitude. I now hesitate to ask about my ancestors born and perhaps married in Manitoba lest SKS might fear to respond as they all went over the border to Saskatchewan, south to the Dakotas and Montana and other parts of the the US west and into Alberta and BC. You have stated your position directly. We are owed like opportunity. Sent without malice.
