    3. To the person called RoadWarrior, I do have other people's genealogy listed on my website but I DON'T claim it as my own. You will see, if you look at my website, the SURNAME LIST I have which DOES list my genealogies. I have posted other people's genealogies on my websites because they tie to areas where MY ancestors once walked. I have also corrected a lot of the info in these genealogies in hopes that the person who originally did said genealogy will find it & fix their mistakes. The ONLY genealogies I claim as my own are under my SURNAME list. I have dug in WELLS, FINCH, BASSETT, MILLET, MILLETT, EATON, STRAIT, STRAIGHT, COIT, BABSON, BASTIL, MURPHY, HENESSEY, BREWSTER, PRINCE, BREWER, LATTIN, LATTEN, MILLER, CAMERON, SIGLIN, MOORE, MARTINDALE, ZIMMERMAN, GRIM, GRIME', & many many others for years. I do not intend to step on anyone's toes. I just want the stuff I've collected to be displayed for the use of others AND for my family. To those who told me to buy a printer & to back up my work with DVD or CD, etc. I can't do that. I've been battling cancer, as I stated in my 1st email about losing my work. My finances are nearly depleted. I know, that's not an excuse. As you can see by my email address, I have webtv. You can't burn CDs with webtv. They're not set up for that. I got webtv because I can't receive a virus or forward a virus because I have no hard drive. Thank goodness for that. If I had a hard drive & got a virus, I would be off the internet forever because I can't afford to buy a computer. Anyway, I'm done with this. RoadWarrior, I apologize to you. I'm sorry you feel I claim other people's work as my own. Why do we judge others over the internet? We don't know what crosses God has given any of us to bear. My genealogy webpages are open to everyone. My personal genealogies I collected when I was well enough to travel. Since I can no longer go to the courthouses, graveyards, places where my ancestors lived, I don't want to lose my pages because I'll never again be able to physically stand the revisiting of those places. I apologize for having ever brought this matter up on this list. I just wanted others to be aware of what can happen if you don't back-up your work. Happy Holidays, Rosemarie
