Good Evening, Like Debbie, I am not satisfied just in vital statistics. To broaden our knowledge we need anything we can find that helps us understand how our ancestors lived, whether it concerns what they ate, what they did for recreation or what they experienced in their daily lives. In my case, extended research told me that my GrGrGrandpa was one of many signers of the Alamance Petition prior to the battle of the same name. He appears to have been wounded during the battle since local records tell us he was listed as an invalid in the next tax report. As for the self assigned "censor's" on the list, I feel sorry that your knowledge is so narrow. Have a good day and Keep Looking UP.

Scotty...get off the soap box, just go find ALL MY relatives, forget about YOURS. I am duck'n quick, ear

While I personally agree with Debbie, it is really up to the listowner to decide what is appropriate for the list and I think we should abide by the rules or start a new list. Just my opinion. Doris
