I would like to clarify why I am I "silent member" Kathlynn. I have only been working on my line for a year. I joined the list almost a year ago and have gotten much information from all of you. I appreciate all of the information everyone has shared and the help some "cousins" have given me directly but until I have actual proof I would not be comfortable sharing my information on the list for fear it may be wrong. I have seen on this list how some people react when someone makes a mistake, which I thought was controlled by the list manager. I am also very young with four generations of my immediate family still alive. With respect of their privacy, I will not give out their information. I'm sorry if anyone does not understand but family honor and respect are important to me and anyone proud of their heritage, the way I was raised, should understand. If I am not welcome on the list because of this then please unsubscribe me. I also apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused anyone or time taken away from your research. Thank you!

Hi everyone! As a sometime silent, sometime active, cousin I would offer this: lets give everyone the benefit of the doubt and assume that everyone has valid reasons for their level of interaction in this mail group. Each of us have lives outside of geneology and must tend to those first - I enjoy reading the e-mails and responding when I have time or something to contribute. Let's just all assume the best from one another and move on - life is too short to spend time getting upset about a group like ours. Let's enjoy what we have and each get from it what we can or need - with no judgements assumed or implied. Be well, my cousins!
