    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: McCargar Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Wg.2ADE/2069.1.1.1.1.1.1.2 Message Board Post: Bob...I notice that you are referring to Fred McCargar's news-letters and roster a lot. I'm kind of saddened and surprised to see that. As we decided long ago, Fred's work was rife with error and supposition, not the least amongst which is the convoluted story of Tom's first 2 wives, and I would think that you might want something a little more current than his 1939 tally of just 350 MCCargars...I have expanded Fred's Roster to include more than 2300 of Tom's descendants--a compilation based on data and research that was, for the most part, not available to Fred. You, yourself, made an important contribution to my understanding of the McCargar history, and I have cited that effort, although not, perhaps, to your satisfaction...can this be fixed? Why don't we bury the old hatchet and actively collaborate, again? I would be more than happy to send you a complete copy of the revised and expanded McCargar Roster, if you want it. It is still arranged, just as Fred would hav! e done it, with his McCargar Code, and I have no plans to abandon it...One other thing, I am personally convinced, from all the data that I have, that Rebecca was NOT Tom's wife, but Joseph's. I would be very interested in any documentation you may have that would disprove my theory...can we start a discussion of this? I remain your cousin/nephew, and I miss hearing from you... Dennis
