Dear Members I am saddened to see the GMI described as a "dinosaur" in the Review of the Guild Marriage Indexes by Anne Shankland in the Documentation for the last Committee Meeting (No 21 on the Agenda) http://one-name.org/members/minutes/2014Nov/21%20Review%20of%20Guild%20Marriage%20Indexes.pdf.

It is very easy to quote a word out of context and thus give the wrong impression. I hope that the members will read the report on the website to understand the context for my comment on the GMI as the rationale for the Worldwide Marriages Index.

Hi All & in particular Anne, Nevertheless that word was used, which, I am sure on reflection another word/phrase could have been used. I am equally sure that Mary RIX and, to me quitely rightly so, takes the use of that word as a personal slight implying ALL her hard work is now out of date. Regards Tony Anthony John MINGAY, now in NZ once of Kent & Suffolk, England but still researching Worldwide the surname MINGAY & its variants. http://www.mingayhistory.co.uk.

Hi One-Namers everywhere Haven't we been here before? In or out of context using the term "dinosaur", IMHO is insensitive to Mary's feelings. I am well known for calling a spade a spade and not a digging implement , a private apology would be nice, a public apology in IMHO is not required, but for those of us in positions of influence should take care of what we say. Kind regards
