Thomas Inman seems to think that he is absolutely correct and that no discussion is necessary. He locks his mailbox so as to not get email from anyone who might disagree. He is the grandson of the Francis Inman who wrote the article about the VA Inmans that I have posted on my site. I have tried several times to reach him, to no avail. At one time I had his phone number, but he has moved since that time. When we talked, he was going to send me some more data on that line. I never got that. He may be right. All I purport on my site is to be the "best available" information. Without proof to the contrary I don't see any reason to change anything. He hasn't made it clear to me exactly what is wrong in the database. So I can't can't even consider changing things. I am going to send this to the Rootsweb list as well. Hopefully someone will know Tom and get him to respond with an open mailbox. His email used to be TSI@aol.com (if I remember). I have also gotten similar mail and comments from haildot@aol.com. I do not know if this was Tom or not. It would be nice to get his input and get this corrected. I will try the address from GenForum to write to him. Let me know what you hear. -- Jim Williams - Please update your bookmarks to the links below. --> Shortcuts to The Inman Compendium <-- Main page - http://inman.surnameweb.org/index.htm Submit a Bio - http://inman.surnameweb.org/guest/biopage.htm Database - http://inman.surnameweb.org/database.htm Photo Album - http://inman.surnameweb.org/contact.htm
