Need to just consider the source and ignore them. Get on with what you all do best.... And pffffffft on the rest.... If they don't like they can always go elsewhere..... We KNOW the truth......

And I thought this kind of bashing only happened on boards involving religion and politics! Ha ha! I don't know anything about any of the parties, BUT...when someone feels the need to bring that kind of negativity into my mailbox, therefore my home...I presume they must have an emotional problem and be very troubled. The original message echoes of anger and bitterness. I am very sorry...I hope y'all are feeling better soon. I guess some people can't hack what they hear about their own ancestors. Eh! Those Whaleys are a wild bunch...and I'm darn proud of it. I'de hate to think my ancestors were BORING!! :) Elizabeth Grayson Brett PS...If y'all Whaley family haven't updated your anti-virus software lately ...do so! Two new Pretty Park variants are all over the internet. I was sent one...but Norton has a fix...I would think McAffee has one too! Good luck. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [SMTP:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, April 05, 2000 11:51 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Weeden and Nelson bashing! The message below came in on the Whaley Message Board! Tuesday, April 04, 2000 Subject: Ruby Nelson & Jackie Weeden Posted by:Terri Parker: I wouldn't believe anything they have to say, whether in a book, on the web, or in person, if they presented me with a note from God. They're a couple of know-it-alls who don't know as much as they think they do. Our reply to the Message Board. Subject:Ruby Nelson and Jackie Weeden Posted by:Ruby L. Nelson Wednesday, April 05, 2000 Subject:Ruby Nelson and Jackie Weeden Message:To Terri Parker, etal. from Nelson and Weeden. We are completely shocked at the bitter, caustic, insulting message by Terri Parker that came out on the Message Board this morning. We don't think we have EVER had ANY contact with this person. We are in communication with a Terri WHALEY who is a descendant of Joshua Whaley and Sarah Crow and she indicates that she is happy with what we have shared with her and indicated that she is buying one of our books. I, Ruby Nelson, write for Jackie Weeden, Whaley researcher, who is not on line. I give her copies of messages and she hand writes answers. Weeden has researched ALL Whaleys for over 30 years. She has done hands-on research in many eastern and central states. She has over 50 notebooks full of Census Records, Bible records, birth, death and cemetery records, pension records, etc. of every state she could find them in. She has over 900 Family Group Sheets in her file and I am typing them onto disks and am sending them out by attachments. This is a free service. She shares pension records from her file (and she has over 300 of them) and does not charge for copies even though they cost her approximately $2000 out of her own pocket. Weeden does not put out data that is not documented. She is always willing to work with other Whaley descendants if there are any differences. So WHY is she being called names? This message from Terri Parker should NEVER have been sent out on the Message Board as it is highly improper for some disgruntled person to make disparaging remarks about a fine researcher that will help others make a poor judgment. I think an apology is needed here. Send further messages by private e-mail to [email protected] To WSP members--Well, shall we continue or call it quits???? Ruby
