I received this note on another list. (thanks to Kathleen Burnett, List Mom, MO-CEMETERIES Mailing List) I like it and hope everyone will take a moment and reflect on it and think where were your ancestors (200+ years ago) a week before Christmas. Cheers and Happy holidays __________________________________________________ It is that time of year again when we suddenly will have an influx of new online genealogy enthusiasts with their holiday gift computers that are usually newer and faster than what many of the rest of us have. For a great many of them, it will be their first time online. Some of them will make mistakes and some may (will) unintentionally do things and write things that may be irritating to us and against what we have set up as our list rules. Please take this into consideration in advance and be helpful to them. If things get out of hand, know that I am behind the scenes taking care of the problems. Just remember, one of these new members might hold the clue you have been searching for. Let us not discourage them before they have a chance to learn how this works. I would like also to take this time to wish each of you and yours a wonderful and safe Holiday Season. ____________________________________________________ Richard Wood Tucson, AZ rwood238@home.com 4902 West Placita de los Vientos Tucson, AZ 85745 N32-16'-53.5" W111-04'-22.5" There is no king who has not had a slave among his ancestors, and no slave who has not had a king among his.
