Dear List This is the only way I can contact everyone. If you have visited Brenda's Berrien County site you will notice I have been giving her cemeteries I have recorded, to be put out on that site. <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~miberrie/index.htm">##Berrien County USGENWEB Project</A> A remark was made to a friend of mine and I overheard it. This remark was made by a member of the Berrien County Genealogical Society at the Genealogical Book Fair, Saturday 03-23, in South Bend. The remark was that I had taken (stolen) the transcriptions of these cemeteries from BCGS as my own and placed them on that site. These remarks follow the fact that I have also received two junky, unsigned, yahoo e-mails, stating the same and calling me a thief. I just ignored the e-mails. But this was said in public to another lady. I am sure the girl who made that remark did not know I was standing right there. Inference was made that Brenda was in cahoots also. Let me assure you that these recordings are very carefully done and I did them. I have made every attempt to cross reference them with other records. I have not just gone out and copied tomb stone inscriptions and left it at that. I map the cemeteries, take pictures and in many cases have cleaned them up my self, with the help of other family and friends. We have reestablished the markers in many vandalized cemeteries in both Berrien and Cass Counties. I started collecting cemeteries back in the early sixties. Brenda has become a good friend and helpmate in many of my projects. She does not try and do cutthroat things for her glory. We share the same interest, to save the Berrien County history for those who will follow us. Why not keep it that way. You will find that helping others is helping you. To the girl that made the unkind remark, I do not know you. I am old enough to be you mother, possibility grandmother. Where are you getting this information? OK...off my soap box, Daundra
