Hi again everyone, I'd like to thank all who have written to say hello and also those who've supported me during the recent "flaming" episode on this list. One subscriber wrote..."Wayne, Thanks for stepping in on this thread and attempting to put a stop to it. I do hope that you don't mind a suggestion though and perhaps in your capacity post it to the list for all to read. You see at one time I was a "NEWBIE" and did not have a clue as to how to post a request. It took time for me to get the hang of it and do it in a manner that would be simple, precise, subject clear and to the point. If I for one was new to this list, the thread that has been going on would do but one thing and that is to keep in the shadows. Someone just starting out can NOT be expected to follow all the formats that the long timers think should be followed." "I would also ask that you mention instead of talking negatively about a newbie, let them know, "In A Polite Manner" as to the correct way in posting. The original post was very clear to me and cannot possibly understand why it was not clear to others." "In advance thanks for your time and I do support you 100% and keep up the great job." This person made some excellent points. Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. -Wayne PS..... Please review the following RootsWeb Acceptable Use Policy (in part)........

I think the CA Death Index is freely available to all at Rootsweb. Let me know if I'm wrong, but you don't need someone else to do it. www.rootsweb.com Happy hunting! 8:o) Priscilla Stone Sharp

Thanks Mike! I think sometimes we forget how it was when we were new to a list. Helpful suggestions are always welcome but putdowns could end a person's work. We all are at some point on our learning curve. And what might seem clear and or important to one isn't to another and visa versa. We need to get along if we expect the world to.

I recently learned my gggrandfather, Addison B. Stone (b.29 July 1844 in PA) was married to a second wife: Fanney Roberson (b. abt.1861 in MO). They had 2 children: Addison Borden Stone (b.Oct. 1886) and Mary Logan Stone (b.Sept. 1888). They were born in either Las Vegas, NM or San Diego, CA, and that's all I know about their children. Do any of you Stones have Addison or Mary in their lines? Carole

Marylou - I understood your post perfectly. Please don't be discouraged from posting again or in trying to find Benjamin's ancestors. I don't know what got into folks. It would be sad if you gave up your search -- please don't. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx

Marylou Hill is my cousin and, yes, I am protective of her. Yet, I will not respond to this "dialogue." Marylou is an experienced researcher and someone who has given her time to help a number of individuals. I would appreciate anyone who can help her with her request. Can anyone help. It isn't difficult to read the following: 1 Benjamin Stone o: Lay Preacher b: August 08, 1804 in VA d: December 04, 1886 in Eno, Gallia County, OH Thank you, Tony Anthony Stone Calman ASCalman@aol.com

I don't usually respond to these but here's a few points: These mailing lists are text based. Any formatting you do is removed by the Rootsweb mailer before sending it out. This means that bold, italic, etc. can't go through. BUT it also plays havoc with tabs that would make any table look nice otherwise. Thus, what looked great when you sent it out, looks like poo when someone else gets it. Second, your margins when you compose the email are probably different than mine. Thus, the lines will break in awkward places when you read it. Often, just maximizing your email window will help this but sometimes not. In addition, in text based email, I do believe it is standard that it replaces a "soft" word wrap end of line with a "hard" return (as if you had pressed ENTER at the end of the line). This puts a line break where you otherwise wouldn't want it. If the information is important to me, I copy it to my favorite word processor and clean it up in a couple quick sweeps of find/replace. Third, putting a tree at the bottom of the email can be a great service to later researchers that do a search on the mailing list archives. They might find their long lost ancestor. However, always point out important names/dates/places that you are really interested in searching for rather than expecting others to figure it out on their own. That is, put a summary (with names/dates/places) of your quest first, tree last. Oh, and keep the number of generations reasonable. Edit out the decendants of those family members you aren't as concerned with. Forth, and the golden rule of message boards and the like, never, ever, ever, diss/flame someone when you feel that they have messed up. All of us were newbies at one time. All of us make mistakes. There's no excuse to shut down someone's interest in their family because of your percieved problems with their request. Personally, I thought it was fine. Don't need a hug-fest here but mutual respect for our quests is always appreciated. Delanie

Please excuse this message to the list. Marylou Hill wrote to me (below), I responded, but it was rejected by AOL (see below). Thank you for your patience, -john ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- <queenbasket@aol.com> ----- Transcript of session follows ----- ... while talking to air-xg01.mail.aol.com.: >>> RCPT To:<queenbasket@aol.com> <<< 550 queenbasket IS NOT ACCEPTING MAIL FROM THIS SENDER Marylou, Perfect? Heck no! I realized a long time ago, that what I sent out, often didn't come across as I sent it. So I started sending it to ME first so I could be sure it came through OK, which allowed me the opportunity to reformat where necessary. This takes an extra step, but definitely is worth the effort. You get more responses. I was not trying to "demean" you at all -- just trying to offer you a lesson from my OWN personal experience. I was not asking you to do anything that I have not done many time. I'm sorry if you took it harshly, it certainly was not meant that way. One other comment, you may have better luck with your "formatting" by sending the genealogies as a TEXT message rather than in HTML format as you sent this direct letter. This may be where your problem lies -- you send it out in HTML and the list converts it to text--all your HTML formatting is then LOST! Again, I'm sorry I ruffled your feathers, please accept my apologies.

Several other people care because I have heard from them already. I remember my first post. Do you? I thought the initial format was acceptable. I went through that post in seconds ....less time than it took to write an uncalled for response. The advice given was not respectful. It was from someone looking down his nose at a newbie. I have seen this attitude on other lists. His apology is in order. Nothing less. Assuming you are the list owner, deal with the problem (and it is not me). Mike

Carole, I don't have them in my line to my knowledge but I wonder if you have checked them against the Calif. Death index? 1940 on is on line. l905-39 is not, but I would be glad to check for you on a lunch hour.
