>i thought seeking living relatives is frowned upon on these lists If that were the case, none of us would be able to participate!! Tom Thompson, St Agnes.

I am to say the least surprised if seeking living relatives or the sharing of living relatives details were permitted on this list. It is generally regarded as unacceptable behaviour, a breach of the privacy of others and is usually not tolerated on responsible genealogy sites. Is this list moderated at all? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Liz & Tom Thompson" <liztom.thompson@tiscali.co.uk> To: <cornish-gen@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, April 02, 2010 9:05 AM Subject: Re: [CORNISH-GEN] JENKIN - Peterville Inn, St Agnes > >>i thought seeking living relatives is frowned upon on these lists > > If that were the case, none of us would be able to participate!! > > Tom Thompson, > St Agnes. > > ------------------------------- > Listmom: ybowers@gmail.com or CORNISH-GEN-admin@rootsweb.com > > Visit the OPC (Online Parish Clerk) web page for transcription information > http://www.cornwall-opc.org/ > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > CORNISH-GEN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the > quotes in the subject and the body of the message >

It was meant as a joke - too early in the morning perhaps! Tom.

What Nick says is absolutely true, but his statement might be misinterpreted to mean that no one is allowed to communicate with other respondents to the list. I am am sure that he does not mean to say that two people who recognize a relationship cannot of their own volition write to each other. The reality is that the only people who respond to information on a list are living people. It is also true that people who have the information sought also often happen to be related to the same people and are themselves relatives of the inquirer. I have established contact with living relatives through this and other lists because of information requests, and that has been mutually beneficial. It is an absolute "no, no" to share or post any information on a living person here or anywhere else on the internet, and it is also not proper to ask that others provide contact information about other people. But that is not the same as a situation where someone is asking for information about a deceased person, and that I see that this happens to my ancestor, and that I then voluntarily invite that seeker to voluntarily contact me off-list to see whether we might gain some mutual benefit from collaboration. I always try to extend that invitation directly and off-list, making certain that no privacy is breached. Even privately, it is improper to give information on living people without the express permission from that person. However, noticing people who are researching the same people as I seek is, in my opinion, a valuable benefit of watching the traffic on the list. That also is different from the forbidden practice of asking that others provide us with contact information about living people. (So far I have been unable to establish contact with any deceased persons). Just my opinion, but I hope that if I am looking for information about a deceased relative and someone recognizes that as his ancestor, that he will not be deterred from contacting me if he wishes to do so.

Hi David Thought your reply was very well put and right. However, your point about contacting a dead person made me laugh - I hadn't thought of that before. I would be interested to know if anyone on the List has managed to contact a dead Relative!

Dear Alan and other List Members, I am sorry if I have contravened the rules of the list. The information on the JENKIN family from Peterville Inn has been obtained mainly through research using online tools. I believe that Elizabeth is the niece of my ancestor James. I would like to confirm the information that I have is correct and I am not sure how else to do this. The other reason that I have for wanting to locate other interested researchers is that Elizabeth's father William was according to a document held at the Cornwall County Record Office living in Nevada in 1882. It appears that he left the family sometime in the 1860s and although there are two Williams in the 1880 US census for Nevada neither of them is a match in terms of age and marital status. The town in Nevada where William was supposed to have been living was very short lived and nothing now remains. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
