    1. [ILWILLIA] non specific requests
    2. If I get a query like: "I am related to your family send me all you have..." what I will send them is my line of information.. and that is all... with individuals that can prove kinship no problem I will include notes for the individuals that are listed in my database... I have no needs at the present time to publish a book but things might change in the coming years.. who knows with the future has in stored for us.. Thus what I am saying... people need to learn how to ask for things.... even newbies.. starting out... I am also amazed that individuals starting have little in the basic knowledge of how to reseach your family.. not taking the time to join their local genealogy societies or buying books for education are for reference ... I am on a budget and handicaped also... if I can work on overcoming my shortages why can't others also... and over the years I have also foundout that some of my information that has been sent to me is not valid.. family connection wise.. someone did some bad research and connected the early families to other families around the country... thus you have problems there... who's information do you accept... theirs or yours ??? We all start out with little information that we can share with others.. and have to build on our information.. and want more.. I spent many years looking for families that did not exist due to improper spelling of the surname across time... in county records.. like I have a Fances LIGGOR listed in Tennessee marriage records in 1817... but I could not find who this family was.. until I attained the marriage bond.. it was LIGGON... I am of the Attitude of Teach me how to fish, so I might eat, Don't give me fish, so I might eat... I will value the fish that you give me but will have more value catching the fish that I might eat... and can share with you... to say thank you...
