The sharing of information from ANY source - whether reference books or newspapers, is what these lists are all about. They in NO WAY are SPAM. When we send information with genealogical data to individuals rather than everyone, we limit it to just one person - while, if we post it, it will then be available for everyone on the list to use, plus placed in the list archives for others to find and use later. The 'name of the game' is to get the most information to the most people, and generous folks like our fellow list member EBBurcher are to be thanked for taking the time to share their info with us.... I wonder, if you don't believe newspaper obits, marriages, births, area students of another era, etc, are valuable, what on earth DO you feel is worth sharing? Many may be interested in one or more of these items...if you're not, simply delete them.
