To Terri Saturday - Your e-mail to the Taliaferro County website is a downright LIE. You do not know me and you have never assisted me. Once you gave me a little information on the Edwards, but I can say I gave attribution where it was appropriate. I have never seen anyone in my lifetime who has hurt a county as much as you. You have plagiarized articles for The Advocate Democrat newspaper and online. You frequently take family lore/tradition given to you by people and then pass it off as factual information in your articles. Genealogy is researching and discovering the truth about ancestors, not copying from others. Others have your number, Terri. John O. Sandusky from Brunswick wrote a letter to the editor in The Advocate-Democrat regarding your "Where Are Our Heroes?" article. I don't know Mr. Sandusky, but I must congratulate him on his insight. Where I come from, his letter was not praise; rather it was "by faint praise be damned." On your newspaper article on job descriptions --- anyone could look on the Web and see that was a verbatim lifting of Dan Burrows' list. Why don't you tell readers were you got "Life of the Ogeechee River"? There is a wonderful genealogist, who has given you and many others a lot of valuable information, but did you ever give her credit? Why didn't you tell everyone where you got the Lunceford article that appeared in the newspaper? No one did research on that one. The sad thing is the newspaper will be archived and your incorrect information saved forever! Your list goes on. I would recommend for anyone on the Taliaferro County website to read the Letter to the Editor from Rhoda Taylor Fone in the December 3, 2004 edition of The Advocate Democrat. Then people can see first hand what your work is like. It saddens me deeply that : 1) this site has become nothing but a chat room 2) that the Crawfordville newspaper has allowed your articles to be printed 3) that people can't work together for the good of Taliaferro County's history. The history is beautiful --- so very rich. It is such a shame that people can't pull their own load and come to the table to share new factual information. I fully understand that lore, tradition, and myth are a part of our past. In fact, I occasionally made reference to it in my book. But I always labeled it as such and did not try to deceive the reader into believing it was factual information. My prayers are with you, Terri, Mikki Martin
