Yes, it was understood that you were copying your source verbatim and any misspellings were in the original. That's the general practice in genealogy. I can see how the term "typo" could be misinterpreted. it sounds so 20th-century, something done with a keyboard rather than a quill pen. Sorry for any confusion. I didn't have time to think of another word; someone was rushing me to dinner! Cheers, Ron Kyser P.S. to the Group-- That dinner was to benefit Katrina victims. Which reminds me-- have we heard from Robert C. yet? And does anyone know how the hotels, bank, and other New Orleans institutions with the Whitney name fared? -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: "Whitney" <[email protected]> > Sorry I only type what I read and the way the paper types it.
