If the email I sent earlier doesn't engender some questions, then I haven't done my job well. But to anticipate some questions, I would like to list some highlights of my database at <http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=poythressp1> Features: o Fairly complete picture the Poythress family and descendants--nearly all descendants, including Jane's--from 1609 through 1800, and for many of them, through 1900. o Fairly complete references to the Batte's index cards for each person in the database in the target group. I provided a link to the RBB cards in what is called "My Home Page." I encourage you to check my work. o Fairly complete background of the spouses of the Poythress descendants, for a few generations in many cases. o I converted all the Eppes to Epes to make the alphabetical features of computers work better. I used R. Bolling Batte's cards rather than Mr. Dorman's book, "The Descendants of Francis Epes". I did this to keep the work consistent. In a few cases, I made note of The Dorman book. o Good linkage of families when cousins marry, which they do often. o Less information about the individuals' occupations etc. Something I hope to work on in the future. In my own FTM database, (which the produced the gedcom, that rootsweb uses) I have the card images in my scrapbook to refer to again and again. So if you have specific questions about individuals, I hope to answer them easily. o A serviceable system of identifying where there are problems and questions. o By having each card image handy to check and double check in my personal FTM database, and by using Mr. Batte's own letter-ordering system, I have a high degree of confidence I got the marriages and children entered correctly. I expect some typos in the date sections, by the nature of how they were entered. I am continuing to recheck these. Some of our people have strange given names. o At the moment, a fair amount of redundancy in identifying people, using Mr. Batte's letter system. Perhaps in the future I will reduce this. It was necessary to insure I had the right person when so many people have the same names. A few times R. Bolling Batte had trouble keeping them straight. o Inclusion of information on Mary Poythress's second family with Col. Wynne. o I am happy to add written notes to individuals you have researched and give you credit. Diana
