I think it was wonderful of Barbara to type all those Ebay entries, and I think it's sad that someone chose to insult her for her efforts to help. It's sad that she has become discouraged about helping in the future. I too have received a terribly insulting email after only trying to help others. And I know quite a few other researchers who have experienced the same. It seems there are some people who enjoy being cruelt to others instead of helpful.

I want to make a clarification. The other day/night I spent many hours searching through ebay's list of antique books/manuscripts. I was looking for myself, but decided that it might be nice to make a list of things available that someone on the genealogical lists might be interested in. I posted this information in seven different letters to four lists. (I had done the same some months ago with Antique Bibles.) I have absolutely no connection to ebays. It was a "labor of love", nothing more. The one listowner wrote back that he did not post them because someone else had already posted a link. That's his prerogative, even if I don't agree. I got some very nice letters back from the third list. In fact, a couple of people found books on their families from the lists I posted. (And the fourth list was this one, which took it in the way it should have been taken. Some rather lengthy information that one could read or delete as one wished. *smile*) However, the second listowner sent me a rather nasty letter implying that I worked for ebay's and was receiving a commission (not true!) and/or that I might have something to do with their security break-in. I replied to him in a civilized manner and explained, but I also asked for an apology. Things went downhill fast, with this man banning me from his list. This is alright also, I had already decided to unsubscribe and it is his right. However, evidentally afterwards he posted a rather insulting letter to his list, without of course, my being able to reply in my own defense. I got some other nasty mail as a consequence. (This particular owner also became rather sexist besides calling me a "witch".) The whole point is, that when you run into people like this, you lose all interest in trying to help others. I've tried to do my small part of sharing information, but I've lost all desire to do that now. I'm sorry, but the ones who suffer might be the ones whose surname I found somewhere and would have passed on. Barbara R. sayona@telepath.com

I find it completely out of line for some people to be so cruel as to deliberately hurt others. And to think that these are supposedly adults who are supposedly responsible people. If a person gets an email they do not wish to have, they have two options. (1) use the delete key, or (2) unsubscribe. They have not thought that the information being given is to be a help to those who need it, forwarded by someone else who out of the goodness of their heart sent it in the first place. "They" are also the first ones to cry due to the brick walls and dead ends they encounter. I hope Barbara will not give in to these insults. If she does, and others of you out there who are trying to help by offering information cease to participate, then this site will be nonexistant. We will be back where we started! Please keep up the good work for the benefit of those it helps. (Unfortunately, none of the info has applied to my family). Thank you Barbara and everyone else submitting information. Gloria Olson

Webster Street Jackson, MI 49202 DATE PURCHASED: ~1991 WHERE PURCHASED: Davenport, IA PRICE: $300.00 LOCATIONS OF FAMILY IN BIBLE: unknown (Providence, RI ?) VITAL INFORMATION GIVEN IN THE BIBLE: *Introduction* My wife bought for me a beautiful old family Bible about 8 or 9 years ago from an antique store in Davenport, Iowa, for which she paid about $300. It is a beautiful Bible and they just don't make them that way any more. We truly treasure it. It is in fair, but fragile condition. It is an "Illustrated Domestic Bible", still containing most of the tissue papers for each beautiful illustration. Of course, it is the Authorized Version, now known as the King James Version. It was printed and published by Case, Lockwood and Brainard in 1869. *Vital Information* The cover is engraved with the name of the family that owned it: N.H. & J.A. (Aldrich) Salsteen Probably Noah H. Julia A. Salsteen, as indicated in the following "Births" pages. In the back of the Bible, the Family Record section, there are no marriages recorded. These are the births that were recorded on the two "Births" pages. They do not directly indicate relationships: Page 1 Julia A. Aldrich Born in Providence R.I. May 13th 1847 Ransom A. Aldrich Born in Providence R.I. Sept 6th 1849 Thebe A. Aldrich Born in Providence R.I. Feb 21st 1852 Page 2 Noah H.
