Amen! Huge amounts of very fine work have gone into tracing these Lindsays and Lindseys (and Linseys, Linsys, Linzys, etc.). In the final result, we can only know things because they have been proven.... not just because someone else once said it, or wrote it. The Lindsay-L list has been active for at for six years, with thousands of entries since 1995. The Lindsey-L list has been all but extinct until the last month or two. It would seem a great waste of time to "re-invent the wheel" with a new list that is about the same old family, regardless of spelling. This I say as an EY Lindsey whose relatives are recorded with five different spellings between 1830 and 1870 in Missouri, while the count of spelling varieties in Missouri alone, in those 40 years, has now reached 39. Seems a shame to take six years of work on Linday-L and repeat it for six new years on Lindsey-L. Hope this is some food for thought.

Well, I guess I've done the wrong thing again. I haven't been "on the LINDSEY-L" list for very long and everything that's been published on it recently has been a great deal of help to me and, I'm sure to some others, but I will stay off and stop trying to help someone else. Seems there's aways someone who gets bored with what is, to them, "old information".
