I just got a very hateful message from a person who claims to be related to Euphemia Breeding. I am told that we are "Explioting" the lady, which is far from the truth. Anyway, I may be forced to remove the photo. I did say that anyone wanting anything from me has to ask nicely. Just wanted to vent to my family. Rena List adm.

I'm reviewing each page and ran upon what appears to be a James Quesenberry on the attached page on the left-hand column about 15 down. It looks like there is another Quesenberry a couple above that. http://memory.loc.gov/ndlpcoop/relpet/000/013/013123v.jpg

Rena, I have never heard of something so foolish! You are not exploiting an historical picture or material by sharing with others. (Unless, like Shannon said, the person holds the copyright) If you or the site were charging for copies of the picture, it may be exploitation. I really do not know. Anyway, we all appreciate the time and effort you put into this list and pages. It is the best I have found, and I work with a number of them. THANK YOU!

So sorry Rena of this person not liking your hard work and time you spend helping "US" that do appreciate any and all information that's posted. There are a few rotten eggs, apples as well as people in this world. It's just facts of life so please continue your efforts as they are appreciated and very much needed. Maybe a few prayers for this person would be a good idea. Don't let this spot stain the whole garment as it can be brushed off.

Rena, We are so sorry that someone has been hateful to you. It seems the old world is full of people that always trying to tear down, the good things in our life. We love and respect you for being so helpful, patience, and caring for all the history that we all have exchanged. Before, I joined the Floyd List, I didn't know where my grandmother was buried, since I joined 3years ago, I have found the little cementry, out in the woods, Thanks to Cecil Hill and others, this cementry has been cleaned up a fence around it, and about 6 months ago, I think I have finally found the spot where she is resting, [she passed away in 1926]NO one knows the joy, love, and respect this has brought me. I'm hoping to get her a tombstone, so she can finally have the honor and respect, she so much deserves. Rena, I apppreciate so much the long hours and hard work you put into this list, so others can experience the love and joy that I have. I don't contribute alot, but it the first thing I do each morning, check on my Floyd List Buddies. Thanks so MUCH for all you do. "The Love for you shall prevail."

Rena, I'm no lawyer, but it seems a tempest in a teapot to me. We seek to do no harm here, we don't seek to ridicule or belittle anyone's ancestry. Our purpose and desire is only to share family information (and the more I research, the more I realize that my mother was right, "...we're all related"). Simply putting Euphemia Breeding's photo up on a demure website for her probable family members and descendants of her neighbors to access is not "exploitation". If the photo is someone's personal property, that person should have kept it if he or she didn't want it shown. If the photo is less than a certain number of years old (75? 100? depends on which copy shop is used) and made by a professional photographer, photo copying places won't allow it to be duplicated for fear of infringement of copyrights, but I don't think this photo qualifies for that worry. Ms. Breeding herself could object, were she living, or her caretaker could, if she were living and incapacitated, but I don't see that one person, even a relative of the lady, should have the power to dictate what we can show on our respectful website. I wish someone WOULD post photos of my Floyd, Franklin, and Patrick counties ancestors! I would be delighted! And, it doesn't sound as if you were asked "very nicely" to me. There is no excuse for bad manners when writing to our list mom! Perhaps it resulted from a full moon, or something...

Rena, when people like that get ugly on line, the only thing to do is say" Please feel free to unsuscribe, and have a nice day". I would love to find pictures of any of my ancestors online-be they horse thieves or proprietors of a house of ill repute. At least I would know they really existed. Might even make for interesting conversation at the next family reunion!! Take it easy and stay warm. Hope the furnace is still working for you and mom. More later.
