I temporarily have access to data that would easily permit me to answer the 1850 Census question (duplicated below) of Mr. or Ms. Cristy. However, I will not now do so because I have not yet received an apology for the following Cristy message-- which I view as one of the rudest e-mails that I've ever received: ____________________________________________________ > Subj: (no subject) > Date: 7/26/01 10:21:28 PM Central Daylight Time > From: cculp2@juno.com (Robert W Cole) > To: JQMagie@aol.com > Sorry to hear that you are such an unhappy person > Cristy ____________________________________________________ [in response to:] <<Subj: Schulze Date: 7/26/01 8:21:17 PM Central Daylight Time From: JQMagie To: cculp2@juno.com Cristy..... Because you asked Lon to send additional info from the St. Louis site of Ancestry.com, it looks you may have had no success with the URL that I sent you. Had you been successful, you could have made your OWN copies directly-- and these would be copies that would have retained their website formatting. General on-list thank-yous tend to annoy many people, including me. They may make the sender look good, but (among other problems) they waste a lot of list space and also suggest laziness. I felt I was doing you a special favor-- and your response is the sort of response that makes me want to stop helping other listers. PLEASE-- I'd very much appreciate your telling me, YES or NO, whether the URL worked for you. ...........John>> ____________________________________________________ Subsequently, I wrote personally to Cristy (no reply as yet) that <> . I believe, and I think Bob (a Lutheran minister) would agree with me, that it's generally more blessed to GIVE than to RECEIVE. Also, I believe that God especially helps those who help themselves. And I personally feel it would be best that the WiMilwau list not do all Cristy's homework until she (or he?) tries to help herself a bit more. I myself am only an occasional Ancestry.com subscriber. But it's clear to me that anyone who signs up for Ancestry's current FREEBIE (below) will not only get answers to Cristy's query below, but also a GREAT deal more helpful info. <<Visit Ancestry.com for a FREE 14-Day Trial.....
