I am a descendant of Dorcas Evans and John Snider and that posting that Dorcas is a daughter of John Evans and Rebecca Ann Martin is bogus. I have seen that posting and again this shows how folks put stuff on the internet without verifying it. The other problem is they won't correct it if you tell them they are wrong. I also repeat that John Evans the father of Dorcas Evans who married John Snider was NOT married to a Sarah Denny. He was married to a Sarah but not Sarah Denny. That John Evans lived in Lancaster/York Co. area of PA. That is another falsehood that we need to stop repeating. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Don Raymond" <dhr1953@hotmail.com> To: <evans-richard@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2010 9:24 PM Subject: [EVANS-RICHARD] the other John Evans >I think that is appropriate from conversation some time back.

Thanks, Gordon. You know... if each member of a particular line of descent who had done conscientious work would be willing to post their 'tree' or family file on our Myfamily site, we would give you full credit and your email address should someone want to contact you for help. I, for example, could put my Dr. Israel Evans and Anne Eliza Schooley on down to the folks in Louisiana. I don't think, for example, that there is Anyone who is participating right now who would have as much information on them as I do; whereas, when y'all start talking about the John Evanses, my mind goes blank.... I am Totally Dependent upon you for that information. So.... if you send me what you want posted, I will put it on the Myfamily site in an appropriate place. And if you can figure out a way to send it to the Rootsweb list.... feel free. Let's face it: we need all the help we can get. I welcome your participation and clarification.

That sounds like a good idea and I had wondered why there weren't any posted on the site. If they haven't changed that format, a person can upload a GEDCOM of their genealogical data and others can browse through it for ideas in their own research as well as break through some of the brick walls. I agree that each should post their work with an explanation of what they have found source documents for and what is not, allowing open avenues of research while also firming up what has been proven. Even totally unproven files, such as one I have constructed that in outline form, one person per line, comprises 49 pages and goes 12 generations down from Samuel (circa 1692) of Richard & Elizabeth (Hall) Evans. I reiterate, this is a totally unproven file at present, to which I am continuing to add family and data. But I am more than happy to share it in it's present form in hopes it will be of some value to others doing research.

Thank you Gordon. I thought that was correct from all that I had come across, but wanted to run it past everyone else to be sure there is a consensus.

Gordon Baker, I'm noticing more and more careless people working on their genealogy through the internet. For you (with nearly 50 years), of research, and me (over 40 years), it is frustrating doing this after the thousands and thousands of hours and miles of research we've spent. How about some proof from now on or we can all just live in a pretend genealogy world. SLOW DOWN and be more careful for everybodys sake. Your friend, Will Snyder. gr. gr. gr. gr. grandson of John Snider and Dorcas Evans ________________________________ From: GORDON BAKER <gordonbak@verizon.net> To: evans-richard@rootsweb.com Sent: Thu, March 25, 2010 5:47:52 AM Subject: Re: [EVANS-RICHARD] the other John Evans I am a descendant of Dorcas Evans and John Snider and that posting that Dorcas is a daughter of John Evans and Rebecca Ann Martin is bogus.
