Thank you LIANE and anyone else wanting to post their family history on this or any other list... I'd like to offer a suggestion for future postings of this kind.... We all like to see the birth, marriage and death dates of 'kin'. Sometimes these help us scale those brick walls¹ of family research! But... In this day and age of computer users and hackers (as well as the ever possible 'identity theft'...) I urge you to omit the kind of information someone can take and use for 'not' so good reasons. I don't want in any way to stop you from posting your data. By all means, it is so helpful when you do... I just worry that someone is going to take your information and YOU will end up paying the price and not know how they got your birth date or the date you were married.... Call me paranoid but I've seen it happen - and not just in California where I live... So I'm suggesting that when data is posted and you feel it is MOST helpful, just post a year for those family members still alive (or atleast within the last 30 years...) For those relatives or kin born in the last century and dead over 50 years I don't think there is a problem. And, since our list has been kind of quiet as of late (did winter get everyone down?) this might be a great time to do a roll call! If you want to participate, please make sure you put ROLL CALL in the subject. That way, if fellow list members don't want to read each message they can delete away ;-) Include your Harper research needs as well as any related names connected to your Harper kin. Bye for now!
