As an update to the "warning" message, Lynda sent a message to that list after she saw the "warning" post. It only seems fair to forward her message of apology--she was only trying to help others. (She also tells where she got the book in case someone is interested in a copy.) Sandy Ellis ******************************************* ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lynda McLaren" <mclaren.ralh@worldnet.att.net> To: <JACKSON-CLAY-OVERTON-CO-TN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, July 15, 2001 7:29 PM Subject: [JCO] Reconstructed 1810 Census Lookups "When I offered to do lookups from the Reconstructed 1810 Census it was to give back something to the group because so many of you have helped me. I have responded to your inquiries with the requested info if it was available or indicated that there was none. Unfortunately, someone else seems to have intercepted e-mails and responded to some of you in a rude manner and caused problems for you. Because of this I will not respond to any further requests for lookups. To those whose requests I haven't answered, I apologize. The book is for sale from Charles Sherrill, 1023 Waters Edge Circle, Mt. Juliet, TN 37211. I believe I paid $60 for it. Lynda"
