By failing to do proper research and ignoring netiquette, you've branded your company and yourself as blatant spammers, and your product as one of dubious value. Now, please go away and bother somebody else. -- Robert G.

Greetings Mr. Melson: Thank you for your message below, I do appreciate your warning. I'm not flogging anything but bringing an awareness about a book (factual in nature) that is a resource for genealogists who are making family connections to Rosses in North Carolina who were caught up in this famous 1920 trial. I do apologize to you and everyone here for posting this information. Best to you and yours.
