Can we please not recieve this many emails to the list concerning one particular family name. This is quite different then sending multiple emails concerning the history of a town etc...How about asking the list if there are people interested in having this information emailed to them individually, next time.

Craig, I appreciate all the work that Marcia is doing to help the rest of us out. Marcia puts wonderfully explicit subject headers so people who are not interested can just delete them if those emails are not applicable to that person's research. No harm done for them. And as for the people for whom this material is relevant, I am sure they are quite excited when devouring all the historical information about their ancestors. I do read Marcia's postings, in hopes that a recognizable family surname leaps off the page, and perhaps another door to my genealogical past will be opened. Marcia, THANK YOU for generously sharing your time and your money (those books weren't GIVEN to you). It's people like you who make genealogy a warm, inviting and informative hobby. Incidentally...did I ever tell you that I have a line of "PAYNE" ancestors? It's true!
