Doc, Sorry! I meant no offense whatsoever...I was just trying to point out that, while it's great to have them, the "official" records are not always correct. And, as you pointed out, you should always verify them against whatever other records (bibles, diaries, etc.) you can find. Again, terribly sorry if I offended; we all appreciate your help! Karen

No problem for me. I am not interested in helping someone that asks for help then hands me my head for doing so. If it's opinions one wants, the net is full of them and they don't need mine. You didn't offend me, it's those people that know everything about genealogical research but can't even tell you when or where their ancestors lived and then criticize your research methods that are time proven in any research discipline. Nuff said. I'm through. doc ----- Original Message ----- From: <Pepsilau@aol.com> To: <JOHNSTON-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, December 13, 2004 10:55 AM Subject: Re: [JOHNSTON] Death Certificates/ Birth Certificates > Doc, > > Sorry!
