I am looking for descendants of Allen Wilsom Key. I would like to find out if his uncles were Tandy and Jesse Key. His father was William J. Key. His sisters married the Freelands. Any information will be helpful. Thanks, Judy

Is there someone who can give me direction to Old Mountain Zion Cemetery? Thanks.

Hi everyone, I think the layout on the Forsyth page may be a little confusing to some people. I would like your input and ideas to make it better and more accessible. <mailto: [email protected]>. I received this and want to pass along to all of you who do so much to make the web page all that it is. Everyone who contributes deserves this praise: "As always, thank you for all you do for the Forsyth County genealogy. I was talking with someone the other day <snip> and he said that the Forsyth County Genweb site was the best one in the United States and had other people tell him that from other areas of the country." The Cumming Fair and Festival continues to be a huge success. Heritage Village is truly amazing and a must see for anyone in the area. For information: <mailto:[email protected]> Happy Hunting. Brenda

Can we leave politics out of our genealogical searches? Please! The controversies regarding political debates of 30 years ago are better searched in history, not presented as diatribes on genealogical mail lists. If you want to discuss this, please do so in your private e-mail. Jan

AMEN Brenda. Thomas H. Lindsay

Hanoi Jane - I vote against her. I went to US Vietnam servicemen's funerals. But......I can't believe anyone would think you could have genealogy without history. I have been posting history references all over this mail list and I intend to keep doing so unless Brenda asks me to stop (after all it is her list). If you see one from MFLP just hit delete and you won't be bothered. Donna Parrish

The fact that jane fonda is a traitor is not political. Thomas H. Lindsay

Thanks for your input, I agree, Jane is a communist......veterans are always near and dear to my heart. I just hope our children/grandchildren are learning the true story...

I too believe that this is as much about history as anything else....... I remember Memorial Day in the City of Cumming a few years back, a little frail lady being helped to walk and untie the flag in dedication to her son, only 19, who died in Viet Nam. To see her and the tears on her face after so many years....I became "undone". I also think of my father, a WWII Navy veteran, and how blessed I am that he survived Normandy. This is sent in honor of all who fought and lived, and in deep sympathy and regret for those who died defending all they loved and all they didn't even know................BMW FWD: I received this from one of my other (less active) lists, I debated with my self if I should pass it on to this list. Then I decided that I was going to. If I offend anyone, I apologize in advance. My thoughts are that it is out responsibility to ensure that history is not forgotten or ignored. That this does pertain to our nations history and our families as well. timothy hoskins I received this and was asked to forward it on. I think this is something that we should all care about. We owe it to the thousands who have served our country, suffered and died. The attached message is about an episode in our country's history . Our children are already studying the time and this war in school. Lest anyone say this does not belong on a genealogy and history list -- I tell you now that I disagree. I think we should stand up for those who stood up for us. Please read on. Margy Subject: Fw: Dear Jane! Date: Sat, 9 Oct 1999 14:35:18 -0500 I am forwarding this as I served during WW2, Korea & Vietnam as a non-combatant but as a patriot. Tokyo Rose went to prison for her part in WW2 and about all she did was provide entertainment for the troops, at least that was the way most saw it, but this one did worse and will never be charged. PLEASE read this through. GORDON -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, October 06, 1999 1:55 PM Subject: Dear Jane! Looks like Hanoi Jane may be honored as one of the "100 Women of the Century". JANE FONDA remembered? Unfortunately many have forgotten and still countless others have never known how Ms. Fonda betrayed not only the idea of our "country" but the men who served and sacrificed during Vietnam. There are few things I have strong visceral reactions to, but Jane Fonda's participation in what I believe to be blatant treason, is one of them. Part of my conviction comes from exposure to those who suffered her attentions. The first part of this is from an F-4E pilot. The pilot's name is Jerry Driscoll, a River Rat. In 1978, the Commandant of the USAF Survival School was a former POW in Ho Lo Prison-the "Hanoi Hilton". Dragged from a stinking cesspit of a cell, cleaned, fed, and dressed in clean PJs, he was ordered to describe for a visiting American "Peace Activist" the "lenient and humane treatment" he'd received. He spat at Ms. Fonda, was clubbed, and dragged away. During the subsequent beating, he fell forward upon the camp Commandant's feet, accidentally pulling the man's shoe off-which sent that officer berserk. In '78, the AF Col still suffered from double vision (which permanently ended his flying days) from the Vietnamese Col's frenzied application of wooden baton. From 1983-85, Col Larry Carrigan was the 347FW/DO (F-4Es). He' spent 6 years in the "Hilton", the first three of which he was "missing in action". His wife lived on faith that he was still alive. His group, too, got the cleaned/fed/clothed routine in preparation for a "peace delegation" visit. They, however, had time and devised a plan to get word to the world that they still survived. Each man secreted a tiny piece of paper, with his SSN on it, in the palm of his hand. When paraded before Ms. Fonda and a cameraman, she walked the line, shaking each man's hand and asking little encouraging snippets like: "Aren't you sorry you bombed babies?" and "Are you grateful for the humane treatment from your benevolent captors?" Believing this HAD to be an act, they each palmed her their sliver of paper. She took them all without missing a beat. At the end of the line and once the camera stopped rolling, to the shocked disbelief of the POWs, she turned to the officer in charge...and handed him the little pile. Three men died from the subsequent beatings. Col Carrigan was almost number four. For years after their release, a group of determined former POWs Including Col Carrigan, tried to bring Ms. Fonda and others up on charges of treason. I don't know that they used it, but the charge of "Negligent Homicide due to Depraved Indifference" would also seem appropriate. Her obvious "granting of aid and comfort to the enemy", alone, should've been sufficient for the treason count. However, to date, Jane Fonda has never been formally charged with anything and continues to enjoy the privileged life of the rich and famous. I, personally, think that this is shame on us, the American Citizenry. Part of our shortfall is ignorance: most don't know such actions ever took place. Thought you might appreciate the knowledge. Most of you've probably already seen this by now... only addition I might add to these sentiments is to remember the satisfaction of relieving myself into the urinal at some airbase or another where "zaps" of Hanoi Jane's face had been applied. To whom it may concern: I was a civilian economic development advisor in Viet Nam, and was captured by the North Vietnamese communists in South Viet Nam in1968, and held for over 5 years. I spent 27 months in solitary confinement, one year in a cage in Cambodia, and one year in a "black box" in Hanoi. My North Vietnamese captors deliberately poisoned and murdered a femal missionary, a nurse in a leprosarium in Ban me Thuot, SouthVietnam, whom I buried in the jungle near the Cambodian border. At one time, I was weighing approximately 90 lbs. (My normal weight is 170 lbs.) We were Jane Fonda's "war criminals." When Jane Fonda was in Hanoi, I was asked by the camp communist political officer if I would be willing to meet with Jane Fonda. I said yes, for I would like to tell her about the real treatment we POWs were receiving, which was far different from the treatment purported by the North Vietnamese, and parroted by Jane Fonda, as "humane and lenient." Because of this, I spent three days on a rocky floor on my knees with outstretched arms with a piece of steel placed on my hands, and beaten with a bamboo cane every time my arms dipped. I had the opportunity to meet with Jane Fonda for a couple of hours after I was released. I asked her if she would be willing to debate me on TV. She did not answer me, her husband, Tom Hayden, answered for her. She was mind controlled by her husband. This does not exemplify someone who should be honored as "100 Years of Great Women." After I was released, I was asked what I thought of Jane Fonda and the anti-war movement. I said that I held Joan Baez's husband in very high regard, for he thought the war was wrong, burned his draft card and went to prison in protest. If the other anti-war protesters took this same route, it would have brought our judicial system to a halt and ended the war much earlier, and there wouldn't be as many on that somber black granite wall called the Vietnam Memorial. This is democracy. This is the American way. Jane Fonda, on the other hand, chose to be a traitor, and went to Hanoi, wore their uniform, propagandized for the communists, and urged American soldiers to desert. As we were being tortured, and some of the POWs murdered, she called us liars. After her heros-the North Vietnamese communists-took over South Vietnam, they systematically murdered 80,000 South Vietnamese political prisoners. May their souls rest on her head forever. Shame! Shame! ( History is a heavy sword in the hands of those who refuse to forget it. Think of this the next time you see Ms. Fonda-Turner at a Braves game). Please take the time to read and forward to as many people as you possibly can. It will eventually end up on her computer and she needs to know that "we will never forget". Lest we forget... "100 years of great women" Jane Fonda should never be considered.

Was not Apow but I did serve in Thailand and Vietnam. If there has ever been a traitor in this country it is jane fonda!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thomas H. Lindsay Milton Fl [email protected] P.S. I did Not accept her so-called apology
