Hello Listers. In resent days, there has been a spirited discussion on this list of which I have taken part. Discussion has & will be a welcomed thing here, but by the same token when others complain I need to cut the thread short. (BTW the persons who voiced their complaints in PRIVATE emails are appreciated, those who posted theirs to the entire list, thats a NO-NO). Not everyone will have the same opinion on every subject so discussion is a way to learn & share ideas. Just as each genealogist settles for their own level of proof, most follow the BCG guidelines but not all. Dave, Jerry, Renessa & the others who joined in this specific conversation, Thank You for your input, different opinions on subjects pertaining to the history, customs, lifestyles, occupations, (and of course these are all parts of genealogy) are WELCOMED on this list. Peace, Brenda
