    1. [RAINWATER-L] Re: John Solomon R

    3. I want to make a comment on this name because his name was not!!!!! John Solomon R. This was put on the family group sheet by the same person who put Bobo as Susannah's surname in the book "My Family". A lot of her data was assumed-but not documented. I have researched Solomon very thoroughly and in all kind of documents and nowhere do I find the name John Solomon. I've found him as Solomon-nothing more. The IGI and Ancestral File should be used as a guideline only!!!!. Do not take the data as documented proof. Use it, yes-but do your own documentation. A lot of the data submitted is supposedly from "family knowledge" and we all know how faulty that can be, don't we. I mean-we try to follow family tradition, and use what is passed down to us as the real thing; but again, information gets distorted and other things are added in over a period of time, that the information at the end bears little resemblance to what it was when it started out. I hope I don't make anyone mad, but there is already enough supposition in researching this line of ours-Rainwater. Burned courthouses are just one of the obstacles we face-don't put any more in our way. Glidie
