on 11-08-1999 I received a transmission; '' I have been informed by the president of the Society that the creator/owner of the database has indicated that "she doesn't have time to respond to queries and will not answer requests". I do not understand why she spent 20 years researching this information and now refuses to" Bill; I guess this means the request I sent to the Epping Historical Society for information on the children of Nancy Shaw and Richard Bean, my 3GGrandparents, and the name of Nancy Shaw's mother, my 4GGrandmother, Margaret (?) Shaw will NOT be answered. After 20 years, She deserves a break. The Senior THURSTON-KNIGHT researcher Anson J.
