I have an example on what you are trying to say. I was researching someone on my mothers side who happened to be Confederate soldier. I was searching around some pages of queries from the countty I thought he was from and found someone with the same last name. So I sent him a message and gave him all the info That I knew aand asked if anything showed up in his line. I recieved a reply but not a very nice reply, he happened to be black, and took offense to me sending him questions about a confederate soldier, I mean he let me have it. I replied with an appology, but also added that if he is so concerned about his race that he needs to add this to his info if he didnt want to get emails from people of different colors. Oh well, just thought Id add that little bit of info.
