Dan and all Ham(b)ricks, Thank you for your letter with corrections. The computer in front of me is where I receive mail. Beside it, 6 inches away, is another computer and keyboard that has the Ham(b)rick file. It takes a few seconds to read your letter saying your ancestor is Daniel Stoffer and not David until the correction is made. At the end of the day, it takes me about 20 minutes to reload the updated data to the internet. However when you say that the birth dates are incorrect and I am missing several children and do not tell me what the correct data is -- the bad data is unchanged. Aunt Ruth listed age 94 in 1997 and also listed as born in 1906 I still am unable to correct because I do not know which is right. Your final statement "I abhor the possibility that the misinformation can be perpetuated". I completely agree with you and stand ready to correct the misinformation. When I try to correct the misinformation that my cousin Steven Collis Jones produced in North Carolina, I am cursed by the true German believers. However for anyone anywhere else in the Ham(b)rick family I am sitting here ready to make additions and corrections all day every day and most all night as long as I have corrections I can make. I abhor the fact that that there are errors and missing data in the Ham(b)rick file and those who know the correct data do not write and tell me. I am old and feeble and make mistakes but I will keep trying until I get it correct as long as you keep sending me corrections and tell me where there are errors. If Les Hamrick has errors in his book and you do not want them perpetuated, this is your opportunity to correct them. These are your family and your data. All I am is your steno. Tell me what you want the data to say and it will say it. Please, Please, Please make your New Years Resolution to get the data correct in your family file and sit down once a week and keep sending in corrections until it is correct. I also would like to have references and documentation on every one, service records, battles fought, census records, deeds, pensions, obits, tall tales, accomplishments, awards, Nobel Prize Winners, Books Authored, occupations, Universities founded, geographic sites named, where buried, where married, where eloped, where educated, inventions made, and any other significant event in your ancestors life. If YOU do not send it in, it will not be there. J R Hamrick Hambrick Genealogy at: http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com
