Unless, of course, the person in question is causing a disturbance. (I searched "genferret" on the web and this guy plays WoW like I do. His/Her comments have been questioned on the gaming boards, as well. The wheel is turning but I think the hamster got loose.) Personally, I like to lurk and read and learn because I'm so very new at genealogy that I've been gently admonished on other boards for speaking up and stating mis-information about what I THOUGHT to be fact. I stand corrected a lot. That keeps me from saying too much at any given time but I'm willing to help in the research as much as possible with my (invaluable!) subscription to www.genealogybank.com (wish they had MORE on there but it's still a fairly new site so I hold hope). If you have a roadblock or brickwall, please let me know and I'll be glad to do a look-up or two. The use of my nickname is to keep my ugly ex-husband (ex-convict) from tracking my status online as he doesn't know my current nickname. That's the only reason I use it and will continue to do so. It's not an perfect system but I feel ok with it. As for the family not knowing the research I'll be leaving behind, I have a sister and 2 cousins who will take care of things for me after I'm gone and will leave my documents in a safe place for family to get their hands on easily. I try to plan ahead. I'd be glad to offer some organizational tidbits if requested (after I find the notebook I wrote all my helpful hints and tricks down in). I realize this thread wasn't about me personally but thought I should speak up as I am a list-member. Stubby [email protected] wrote: I agree Herbert. A board like this is for research and sharing, not nick-picking about a name. If there is something to share, I don't care if they use the cutest name in the Universe. A lot of people view genealogy research as their own private information and refuse to give up anything except for an occasional name and maybe a date or two. Either that or they be glad to take any data you offer but never return an email to share their data. It's a shame that when they die, all their hard work will probably be tossed by a relative.

Nobody knows who these people are. Maybe thye have a hidden agenda. Or are just to embarrassed to say who they are. They can state things, but they hide behind there false names. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message --------------------------------- Sponsored Link Rates near 39yr lows. $510,000 Loan for $1698/mo - Calculate new house payment ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
