I must agree with Paul Barrett. A search for the name brought up several people, all of whom were female. My next step was to go to the web site of the University, and on the staff email address list was the staff member referred to. These simple searches took only a couple of minutes and satisfied me that there was nothing underhanded about this request, We are all on this list because we use the internet, in part at least, to further our knowledge. This person is doing exactly that. It is a shame this list must be so tightly focussed on one topic. If we are to be suspicious and resentful to the extent that a student seeking help with her studies must be struck from the list, then that is sad. No one had to take part and there was only the one submission from this person. I, for one, wish this person well with her project. Theo Perry

But what does all this have to do with a Mailing List where the subject is supposed to be CFTW? You, and others, forget (or don't realize) how much junk is archived on the Rootsweb/Ancestry systems as a result of off-topic posts AND REPLIES TO THEM! Again, thread is CLOSED !!!!! I will send a warning to anyone continuing the subject after this notice is posted to the List. Regards, George W.
