Sorry to all my American cousins. It would seem that my input from England has caused this site to become unmanageable. I cannot change history or my roots, or ignore them, so I have reluctantly decided to unsubscribe from this site to save you from any more controversial disputes. I wish the Professor well in his research to find, in his opinion, the true lines of your ancestors without including any one of them that was not involved in some bloody incident of the past, and of course that includes your own early American history. I will look forward to seeing his published results. If any of you want to correspond with me and my wife Gill in a friendly, personal way, please feel free. You have my e-mail address. Our best wishes to you all. Tony and Gill Carpenter.
