One day, I will send in a submission to NY-OLD-NEWS and it is published. The next day as fast as I send them in they are returned to me as having fatal errors or I am not authorized to send. I questioned this once before, with no answer from Rootsweb. I now live in Bozeman, MT, but my home will always be Newark Valley, Tioga County, NY The only relative I have left in Tioga County, is my sister, Mrs. Robert Sharp of Berkshire. It would be nice, after someone agrees to give of their time and money, to be part of something as fine as Rootsweb/Ancestry.com, to simply state in simple terms, that they are not interested in your efforts on their behalf. To all those that sent letters of encouragement, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you. But at seventy-years of age, there are other things I can do, besides try to please the iron maiden, guarding the gates to .com. Bill Grummons
