Harold, Perhaps you do not exist. You could be only a figment of your own imagination. I'm reminded of a woman I knew who was probably near if not past 100 when she died. She did not know her exact age or date of birth. She once remarked, "All I know is that I have been around as long as I can remember, and I can remember back a long time." --Lamar On Tue, 8 Mar 2005 18:26:44 -0600 "Harold" <[email protected]> writes: > Documetation is WRONG a lot > times: > A lot of people don't have the money > to send off for copies of documents. > You would have to have documents > on each and everyone for it to work. > > A lot of times even if you had the money, > people don't know where to write for > documents; on top of that they don't > know the dates; and without dates' > you can't get most documents. > > If you send your money and they > don't find a document; because the > dates don't match, or the names are > spelled a little different; they keep your > money for looking. > > Harold > p.s. there is no documentation that > I was even born. > > > > ==== TURNER Mailing List ==== > Turner list website - > http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/surname/t/turner.html > > ============================== > Find your ancestors in the Birth, Marriage and Death Records. > New content added every business day.

My mother's family always said that my uncle was born December 24th 1910. After the census came on line I found him in the 1910 census and he was 2 years old. Now people are supposed to list their children and themselves as the age they would be when the census was taken right. If they took it in June and the census was effective as of April they listed the age as what it would be in April. You could not get my mother to realize that her family made a mistake. I told her, you would mistake a baby's age a couple of months old but how could you mistake a child 2 years old, but she never changed her mind. So from that "mistake" right there I was skeptical of all records, and tried to find a verification of each. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lamar Wadsworth" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, March 08, 2005 7:09 PM Subject: Re: [TURNER] Re: Documetation > Harold, > Perhaps you do not exist.
