Why do people have to be so petty?? If someone submits articles on one name, it doesn't matter, it may help someone else eventually. Isn't that why we are doing genealogy??? I'm sure there were other surnames connected with Mr. AHERN's articles. Let's focus on the big important things in life & stop complaining about the small stuff. Just delete what you don't wish to read or have time to read. Let other people enjoy contributions others have taken the time to give. In our daily lives others that we come in contact are not a generous as those who make contributions to any of the Genealogy related lists that are on the Internet. Please don't complain and curtail someone's generosity. Let people continue to give, eventually "you" will receive due to the goodness of someone else! Glenda has helped me in many, many ways & she also has helped countless others. And yes, this is a very expensive hobby, which one must be sure to budget for (both time & money). However, it can be so rewarding! I have personally united two different families (half brother to half brother & sister; and half brother to half sister). Both of these families are extremely grateful that I had the resources that would help me (Glenda was instrumental as well as others who looked up information I requested.) I will always give them credit for assisting me, I never claim all of the credit. I have been contacted by distant cousins that I never knew due to the information I had posted (or others have posted for me) on the Internet. The surnames I have posted wouldn't be important to most people, but it has been important for a few. I'm glad no one censured my postings. let's not censure Mr. AHERN! Glenda, you will do fine with your cataract surgery. My mother is going through it right now also. Contact me privately if you want to ask my mother any questions or discuss your progress with her. She'll be glad to talk to you about it. (MuskratBay@aol.com) Happy 4th of July everyone, and please do not forget about everyone's freedom of speech!!! Remember, it will help you out at sometime, somewhere, somehow! Anne Ruggeri Brewerton, NY
