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.
