Dear Connie and Keith: I can't believe what I am reading. I had thought that these two matters had died down, now they raise their "ugly" faces again. I'm sure the majority of the Louisa County List are common sensed, appreciative, sensitive, caring and sharing, good people. Connie, PLEASE do not let those who aren't, ruin something you obviously care deeply about. People who spend so many hours volunteering their time and efforts to help others, should NEVER be spoken to the way I have seen lately with you and Keith. Common sense should tell one that they couldn't go in and just change age old records in the courthouse at will. As for Keith, he is as you say, the most kind, sweetest man and does not deserve this either. He has helped me at the Center in Wapello and searched with me as if it were his own family he was looking for. That shows he is a caring person. The rest of us are looking for OUR family histories, you all are looking for EVERYONE'S families. That deserves some RESPECT! Please reconsider, as the rest of us I'm sure, appreciate you and Keith's contributions to genealogy and to the Louisa County Mailing List. Verna May Alone we can do little, together we can accomplish much. ....Helen Keller Keith/Connie Street wrote: > > Bettijane, I have no clue what you are talking about.
