Dear Katherine, There are some people in life who cannot and absolutely refuse to recognize the truth when it bites them. Since when is it wrong to speak the truth? Only to those who do not recognize it.

I e-mailed you off-list with this request, and yet, you cannot resist but to bring your criticisms on-list. As you know, you've been condescending and rude to me in the past and I just want to be left alone by you. For someone that signs their e-mails "God bless" there's not much more you could do to treat me un-Christianlike. Except maybe if you continue to "blind carbon copy" my e-mails to the SC-LAUREN list or to Max Blankfeld and Charles Kerchner for whatever means you hope they will act upon it.

Dear Herb, Apparently, I'm blinded to the fact that YOU know the truth and I do not, so feel free to enlighten me other than referring me to Charles's site which I've already read throughly. I do not care to be "bitten by the truth" and dwell in my ignorance any longer. Please tell me, and the SC-LAUREN list the err of my ways so that I may rectify it. My goals for the Laurens DNA Project are: to provide a home for mitochondrial DNA results which are not normally welcome in Y-DNA surname projects to provide a home for Y-DNA results of early Laurens lines which might not already have a surname project established (i.e.: Wham, Culbertson, etc.) and assist Laurens researchers in any way possible. The site provides cemetery transcriptions and a researcher as a means to do this. So in your perception of "the truth", what am I doing erronously? Sincerely, Katherine

Simple Catherine, People have to join a Family DNA Project and do more than a 12 marker test to connect their family to real people. mtDNA projects abound, go to Genealogy DNA-L and read for a while. Charels Kerchenr and I tried to tell you that when you started to no avail. So you keep not putting out the right information. Tell the people at SC Laurens-L go join your surname group, get 37+ test and maybe you can find out who you are kin to that your site has no hopes of ever providing. It takes family members to sort out their family. Leonardo Andrea, SC Genealogist Emeritus, showed this. Family connectivity is the only way. Now not all Andrea published was right but his idea of getting many people in a family involved in getting their family together has earned the respect of many in SC. Working in an isolated atmosphere with one and two DNA profiles dangling here and there does not lead to solutions. The Hill and Freeman DNA Projects of which many are from SC have over 140 members and they are still working hard to sort out their lines. We at Hendricks DNA have 57 participants and 22 Groups. Each of these 22 groups have a different lineage trail. Ones and two in a DNA group do not a solution make. You fail to grasp this basic premise.
