Why would any one want someone to stop taking their time to send this wonderful tid bits of Family HISTORY to a list. Its great. Maybe one day I will find out my family and be a happy camper too. Keep up the good work, I to was slammed for my good efforts and I kept on typing the information and I had many persons telling me hay I did not know thats where he ended up at. It was great to be of help. Now I can not even focus long enough to think of doing something that awsome to aid in helping others anymore, muchless doing or continmung my family tree without the fear of screwing it up.. It would be real real nice if I could find my Green family by reading these postings, now if I could remember what I am reading, that would be nice to. In November 2004 I had an episode that left me with double vision as to which I think I have become use to, then in December 2004 I found out I have MS with up to 7 brain lesions with perminate damage. It has hit me like a mac truck with little recovery, I am only 45. So everyone who is having a cow over these postings, get a grip, be blessed that someone has the ability to do this for YOU. Its sad when all these little things seem to be to hard to do that useto be so easy. I have the right to be on a pitty pot, its only going to last one year, then I will be ok. Leona Greene

Leona, Your story is so touching and to the point, I am humbled by your praise. I don't let it bother me when 2 (just 2) members of the List complained because the overwhelming majority wanted me to continue the postings, which I did. I have no problem with those two Scrooges who apparently don't know what a mailing list is for, it is their loss for missing out on all of the fun as far as I'm concerned. I am so grateful to almost everyone on this list who weren't upset about the postings of Famous Americans, which I felt was totally wasted sitting in an online database only available to those who use Ancestry.com. I posted messages to several other boards and lists also, who had either Surnames or County hits in those records, and I am glad that the info is now out there to be discovered by someone looking for those individuals in the collection, through the message archives. I am also going to keep an eye out for other valuable data collections that features something to help researchers and I will be posting them to the boards and/ or lists when I get the chance to. So, it doesn't bother me if someone is so extremely rude and narrow-minded that they don't want others to be given resources not otherwise available to them, they are the ones who are the losers.
