Agnes, I appreciate your thoughts in sending this email out, but the purpose of these list servers is to share information pertinent to a topic that the subscribers would like to receive information about. In this case, that topic is Ford family genealogy. I personally ask that you refrain from sending emails of this nature out to the list server. As the bottom of the email states, "please pass this on to other people in your address book". Since I personally am not in your address book and I request not to receive these types of emails. I'm sure that you only had good intentions. May you have a wonderful day! Sincerely, Ed Ford -----Original Message----- From: Agnes Fangmeier [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, January 29, 2006 5:36 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Ford] Fw: Good information - you should read this... ----- Original Message ----- From: Judy Boie To: David Mills ; Diane/Cliff Moening ; Lisa C.
