I don't know how these things run and I didn't want to post my complete : family history to the entire list. I have gotten a few responses back from : people who are willing to try and help me. I don't understand the negative : responses that I have gotten. My husband is on a mailing list and that whole : list posts things all the time asking questions and helping out where : needed. I really don't understand why you or anyone else would have such a : negative attitude towards my email as that won't help anyone in solving : their problems or situations. The negative attitudes that I received make it : hard to even talk to anyone about my problem or ask for help. This is the : first time I have tried to get help through a list or been on a list. I : wanted to know if anyone could help me and I am willing to give more : information to individuals who might be able to help, but I don't want to : post my whole family history on the internet. I am NOT looking for a new way : to get junk mail. : ----- Original Message ----- : From: "wilma windes" <wjcook@hotmail.com> : To: <GEN-UNSOLVED-MYSTERIES-L@rootsweb.com> : Sent: Tuesday, August 22, 2000 3:06 PM : Subject: Re: family mystery Please help : : : > I AGREE!!!
