    3. Dear Sam: AMEN!! I could not have said it better myself. I thought we were all interested in the Taylor Family. If we chase everyone off because of the way they write their E-mails we will have NO one to exchange information with. Who knows Tim may have just ticked off a distant relative.

    3. You're fine, Earl. You're all fine - we just need to be more tolerant of those who do things differenly than we're used to or find acceptable and then choose our words carefully when we do try to explain something. It is difficult to "talk" on the computer. No one can see our eyes, read the expressions on our faces, or hear the tone of our voices. So we have to do it in words and sometimes it comes out differently than we intended. I'm sure Tim didn't intend to upset anyone, but rather explain e-mail etiquette.

    3. this same discussion happened on another web page, and the admin had to warn the person with being being blocked from the site if it didn't stop. We have a very good admin. and I know she is really trying to control this kind of discussion, and get on with the business of genealogy, which is what we all want. So please, don't keep this going. I for one, am always happy to help any researcher I can, newbie or otherwise. If anyone is researching the Taylor line from the Taylor's New Jersey, or Ohio to Illinois, I will be glad to answer and offer help. Thanks Marilyn for the great job. Mary

    1. Capital letters ....... - please be gentle
    2. sue taylor
    3. Hi list, When I first started my family history research, a few years ago, I sent an email to an OPC (online parish clerk). The reply from this person 'told me off' for writing in capital letters, he also told me that my ancestor had not been born in 'his' parish. I felt as though I was trying to enter a world that had many unknown 'rules' and 'regulations' and was open only to the elite and not to an ordinary being such as myself. The OPC tone was so aggression and dismissive, that it took two years before I felt confident enough to start trying to research my family history again. I'm pleased to say since then I have had the most wonderful replies, help and support from many different listers/lists - which I am very grateful for. The funny thing about this story is, that not only was the OPC ill behaved, he was also ill informed. Through the help of the new OPC I discovered my ancestor was born and baptised in the parish. Guidelines are helpful for many, for some they may offer inhibiting pressures. As a dyslexic it takes me a long time to create a message to an acceptable standard. I, like many others, use the 'spell & grammar' check, however, I also need to use 'ReadPlease', followed by at least three read throughs. Sending a message to the list, for me, feels like launching a ship - will it float or sink - will listers be able to understand what I have written, have I used the correct punctuation, spelling, grammar and 'the big one' have I written the right word. For example I can't distinguish between 'prefect' and 'perfect', I know they are different but which one means 'something that has no faults' and which one means 'someone who told me off at school' - this is were 'ReadPlease' comes in handy. Sorry I have gone off on a tangent - my plea is that guidelines are helpful however, please be gentle when reminding us of them. I'd like to wish you and your family a Very Happy Christmas and a Peaceful New Year - Kind regards Sue Taylor, Shropshire, UK. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

    3. Sue, I totally know where you are coming from. I've been researching my family heritage for several years but when I was a newbie I ran across more than enough of my share of those whose arrogance was inexcusable. Can't people nicely explain how things are done ? But there are some people whose egos have to be stoked somehow. Anyways, so glad to meet you and so glad to have joined this list. Seems like a great bunch. Even though most are not of the Taylor line I am looking for I find their history and family lore interesting.

    2. Thank you, Sue for your thoughts. I have to agree with you - please be gentle. Someone else said why does something so simple annoy people? - Well, why is it annoying to others when the names are not capped? We are all different, and this is family history - let's be nice to each other.

    2. Tom Bautz
    3. While the list seems to have everyones attention, this would appear to be a good opportunity to ask if anyone has a Harry TAYLOR, born in Canada last half of the 1800's. He married Agnes EVANS, they had one son Harry William TAYLOR, born in Chicago about 1893. He moved to New York, married a woman whose first name may have been Lena (last name possibly OAKLEY), had a daughter named Lillian about 1914. He served in WWI, returned to Buffalo after the war. I have no details regarding death or divorce, but he married Hannah Kammer in 1920 and settled in Hillsdale, New Jersey. Any takers? Thanks, Tom Bautz -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

    3. Hi TAYLOR fans, Does anyone else have an interest in - Fines Washington TAYLOR - born - 22 Oct 1864 (in Oregon maybe) ? And apparently the son of William TAYLOR and Elizabeth, but at this time I have no dates or places for Fines' parents. Personally, I find "all-caps" difficult to read. However, I really appreciate it when surnames are in "all-caps".

    3. Yes, it is preferred to use caps for SURNAMES. I forget to do it as often as not, but it really is helpful. I'll try to remember to shout TAYLOR, et al. :) Anne Haines ----- Original Message ----- From: "BEVERLY WILSON" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, December 19, 2004 11:37 PM Subject: Re: [TAYLOR] Re: TAYLOR-D Digest V04 #313 Howdy everyone This seams to bring up another subject. Wasn't it a request of the list at one time that all SURNAMES be typed in all caps? It sure helps when checking e-mail to find the surnames, or the main subject of an e-mail if they are. How about it what you all think?

    3. good for you Marilyn, why does something so simple seem to annoy other people. Mary marilynandmonty <[email protected]> wrote: Bev, It helps A LOT (yes, I am trying to make a point :-) to place the surnames in caps - obviously, this is the TAYLOR list, but for those who scan to see if any names look familiar, it is a great help to have the surnames in caps since it draws our eyes to unfamiliar surnames and to first names of those Taylors (lower case done on purpose to show the difference within a paragraph). I always knew the reason some typed in all caps was because they were visually impaired and it was easier to read; I hadn't thought of the repetitive motion of hitting the Shift key while typing could aggravate other conditions. Thank you, [email protected] , for explaining. E-mail etiquette suggests all caps are shouting, but that has to be taken in context. If someone is shouting and their caps includes multiple exclamation points and/or a "tone", then I would be concerned. In the publishing world, it is believed that all caps is more difficult for most to read. But not impossible. We're all here for the same purpose - to locate our ancestors and living relatives. Let's enjoy.
