Were you able to slow the pigmy down long enough to read the toilet paper? Did you document the source? Joyce

All I saw was the toilet paper blowing in the wind, couldn't read what was on there.

I just saw a two headed pigmy run down the street with toilet paper stuck on his shoe, does that help? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dianne" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, September 13, 2000 12:26 PM Subject: [VESTAL-L] genealogy > > Genealogy > 9/8/2000 > > Lat year I shared some of my Genealogy information to a list that I belong > to,( NOT THIS ONE!) > and they came out of the woodwork.

Dianne, Thanks for all the great stuff you are posting. Barbara

Genealogy 9/8/2000 Lat year I shared some of my Genealogy information to a list that I belong to,( NOT THIS ONE!) and they came out of the woodwork. ( I was a little leary to post here for a while because of this) Maybe it's just me, wherever I post anything, they come after me, I have been almost kicked off two humor lists because of the stories I post. (not from the list owner, but the rude people on them) I can't believe some of these people, they ask for information they have been looking for for thousands of years, ( well maybe 10 years at least) you send it to them and instead of saying "Thank you for that information, I have been looking everywhere for it", they say "And just WHERE did you find THAT?" "Where is your source of proof?" " I NEED the name of the book where you found that AND the page number!" I just tell them, "hey, it's a place for you to go to and find your proof" jeeezzzzzzzz. they either want documentated information with page and number or none at all. Of course this is just some, probably the professional genealogist, and that for sure is not me. I wouldn't care if any information on the DIHEL family came by bus, carried by a two headed pigmy, written on toilet paper in lipstick. I WANT it. I surely wouldn't brow beat the giver. I like to help people find people, but I guess you run into all kinds in the genealogy world. I just do this for fun and my own information, so I am the pitts on sources. But how would you explain to someone what your sources are on a man born in 1600.? "I talked to the midwife?", " I have his bible?" , "His mother wrote me a letter?", "Moses wrote it in stone?" heck, what kind of a source are you going to find that far back. I just take it as I get it, don't care where it came from. Pretty soon they will want a piece of the boat he come over in with his name carved in it. But then they will want to know HOW I know that he was the one doing the carving. Who the hell has the documentation on the BIBLE? Sorry to have taken up your time, but there was no one to share this little tidbit with. Just like a lady said the other day, that she could go clear back to 63 B.C. Now there is where I would like to see documentation. Maybe Christ was her ancestor's neighbor. Well good for her, I imagine she can pick her lineage out of the old testament Dianne

I think your idea great even a discussion on the list about why we feel that a ancestor is or is not the correct one.

Dear List Members: I would like to suggest that we form a “research committee” to try to find more information on William Vestal (husband of Alice Glover) and his parents and pool our resources and efforts to this end. (Also, Gilbert Cope suggested that William Vestal had been married prior to his marriage to Alice. I have not seen any evidence to suggest it, but he was a major genealogist and I’m not.) Here is another suggestion but perhaps we could: a.) list our subject line as “William’s parents” to differentiate from other e-mail on this Vestal list. b.) list sources we have looked at with or without success c.) suggest sources d.) offer to research these sources if we live near a major library or have access to a particular source material. Does anyone else think this would work? Anyone else have any ideas to make it work? Anyone interested in this? Willie Krug [email protected]

Same ol mess with the Vassall's. As far as I know the Vassalls never left the West Indies. If some one can connect these to families, please do. Other wise I'm sure your barking up the wrong tree.

what happened? I thought the list was going really goood the last few days, now it has went down to nothing. Everyone find everything? LOL I just happened to be typing in my Hutchins family, and found Vestals there too. The vestals family I was searching before was from my husbands side of the family.
