Pattie, this was my comment. I fully understand and highly appreciate Dennis's abilities, accomplishments and compassion for the research he does and the books he has helped produce. I, in no way, meant to degrade him or his reputation. I only meant that he seemed less enthusiastic about these loose papers because they were of a more recent age and he commented that there were many survivng documents already researched and transcribed for this same time. I would also say that I too would wish to have more survivng 1600-1700 documents as this is where my brick walls start. No documents to support ancestral conclusions. So please do not take my comments in the wrong way. I meant no disrespect.
