Bobbye, I don't think your e-mail was offensive. Like you said, religious persecution is why our ancestors came to America in the first place. Some people get so "snooty" when religion is the subject. Personally, I think that's God convicting them! HA! :) Marilyn -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Monday, April 23, 2001 6:32 PM Subject: Re: [MOYERS] More on Prim. Baptist, plus German Baptists Sorry Helen but we do have a lot of this in genealogy. Helps us find our ancestors and understand their movement. Many of them left Europe because of religious persecution. When they came to the Colonies, they still suffered religious persecution. That is why Rhode Island was started, you may recall. If it offends you, I'm sorry. Perhaps when we have questions about religion, personal illnesses and deaths we should go to individual e-mail rather than on the @rootsweb. Apologize to Wallace for me. I did not intend to offend.
