Sorry, apparently I wasn't clear in my message. I have no problem with family data bases at all, and am more than happy to share whatever information I have on any of my family lines, and certainly appreciate any leads that I find on any of the same. I just don't feel that it is a sound practice to take information and "correct" it without verification. Perhaps this is just a personal thing and others are a little more easygoing about this. Obviously if I'm listed as having died in Atlanta several years ago, but am sending this email from the suburbs of New York City, it would appear that someone's information is less than credible. I do hope that it isn't mine. As for why I am on the list? My family was in the Orange County area from the early 1700's or before, so probably for the same reasons the rest of you are on it. Still searching, trying endlessly to make connections and wishing for the loose thread that ties it all up. Regards to all. Michele Cooper
