Perhaps the site has become more 'historical' than 'genealogical' and does not represent what it was initially set up for. The two somehow always seem to merge at some point, however. It would be beneficial to know the prerequisites for submitting comments to the site so that, in the future, one would not become offended. Can we heard from the WFGS Board or site manager for some guidance? I have enjoyed those many comments from the subscribers whether it was family or history but to those who would prefer it to continue strictly genealogical in nature; I will abstain from any input in the future unless it is in reference to my many family lines and collateral links in this area. Thanks to all those who have sent in comments or queries as I like to learn of the history and very little is ever mentioned that would fall under the category of genealogy.

Your site manager :-) I have enjoyed the history questions, they show how we can work together to locate sources. It seemed each contributor used a different source. To me this site should be for learn to research problems in History/Family History/Genealogy. I think occassionally a member gets enthused over an unrelated message and probably sends it to everyone in their address book. They should really think before hitting the send button. If we start complaining on the list, we just create too much unwanted mail. If I don't care for a topic I hit the delete key, so simple and doesn't get my blood pressure up. There are just to many big things in life to worry about, why worry about the little ones. I do enjoy when people share good research links. Keep them coming.

Agreed this list should not be used for political and religious purposes, jokes, etc. Folks should have separate email lists for those items. One cannot separate genealogy from the history of an area. Our ancestors did not live, work and play in a vacuum. Everything happened some place. I hope Jackie and Suzanne will continue to contribute to the list. They are both natives with long family histories in Escambia Co. have extensive knowledge of the people and the area and have much to offer us. Cynthia

HALL? Sigh. I have despaired of finding connections to my gr-grandmother, Mary Jane Hall Allen. She was born in Kentucky, and died there in 1924. Her father was James E (lmer?) Hall, born ca. 1812 in TN. Her mother was Judah Ann (?). ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, September 10, 2007 8:01 PM Subject: [FL-WFGS] Butcher Pen Pond > Perhaps the site has become more 'historical' than 'genealogical' and does > not represent what it was initially set up for.
