I had informed the Rootsweb staff . For years this person has been trying to expel both my Isle of Mull mailing list duties and that of our website owner. Some of his previous attempts were down right obstinate THANK GOD he did that off the list.. I, Ida the Isle of Mull list maintainer and Yes, Ian the website owner and operator of http://www.mullgenealogy.co.uk/ do believe that we need only one website to store and share our information. WE'D prefer it to be flawless but were all human. If it wasn't for our generous subscribers/contributors who spent numerous hours extracting census, birth, marriages and deaths and placing them on the Isle of Mull website. To be exposed to the world and thusly be ridiculed by some members is JUST PLAIN RUDE... Ian http://www.mullgenealogy.co.uk/ the website owner is more than willing to correct information that is being held on the website. Our goal has always been to help others Thus the formation of the Isle of Mull mailing list and website back in December 1998.. If you'd all take a few minutes to check your family information on the website and send your corrected information to him he'll more than be happy to correct it...Myself I'd prefer to have all information exchanged through the list for the Archives remember rootsweb only allows plain text. PLEASE if you have anything that needs another opinion we have numerous researchers who will share their expertise with you just ask through the list.. Margaret I'm sorry if I've used your posting here to vent my fustrations and that I've had to rehash these old problems. Yours was the most opportune reply for me these past few days. I'm sorry that you missed going to the Mull gathering as it was open to all Mull families Elaine did a marvelous job of organizing it from Canada. Regarding the Birth Marriage and Deaths certificates Ian will accept any and all information no matter how trivial it is. I also know that an ocassional thank you from someone you've shared information with goes a long ways. Again I'm sorry for having to rehash this.
