    1. [INADAMS-L] SOURCES JUST SLOW ME DOWN
    2. Duane S Baumgartner
    3. Hi everybody: Thought that it was time for a little humor again! This was sent to me by a cousin in Bend, Oregon. Duane **************************************************************** SOURCES JUST SLOW ME DOWN The people are what it's all about so I don't worry about sources. If I find an ancestor with the last name Smith, I just go ahead and link him to Captain John Smith and his wife Pocahontas. Last name of Carson? I have them descend from Kit Carson, the famous pioneer. If their last name is King, I figure I can go ahead and show descent from King Richard the Lionhearted, because he was a king that I like. After you do it for awhile, it gets easier and easier to link your family to really interesting people. Sure you have to be a little more creative than those fuddy-duddy, goody-goody, source- quoting weirdos. Sometimes I have to invent individuals to connect things up right, but I figure they *could* have existed, right? And this way my genealogy is really interesting, my family loves it, and it saves me time! Yep....Sources just slow me down! My motto: What the heck, who's going to check? _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
