I discovered I named the wrong person right after I sent that e-mail. My apologies to Brad. Why hasn't Elliott been banned from this site, if this wasn't his first time? The same thing is happening on the Italy rootsweb site. I just want to do research. The disagreements should not be sent to the list. Just my opinion. I hope things will get back to normal now.

Unsubscribe yourself, oh enlightened one. Send email to [email protected] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body. Your uncanny awareness and keen powers of observation are beyond our comprehension... you're just misunderstood here. I think it's best that you join a list where you're more appreciated. We'll miss you... bye bye.

It is really SAD that so many folks on this list are so quick to condemn others. What Roland Elliott was talking about in his inimitable style was the fact that much of the information one will find listed with the LDS/FamilySeach/Ancestry etc. is NOT DOCUMENTED. It is very frustrating to spend precious time searching for a loved one to find merely a name and a "circa" date. Several years ago, when I didn't know any better, I innocently uploaded a web-page to Family Tree with some totally undocumented information. Last year, while doing a search I found MY web-page listed on the LDS/FamilySeach site!! Who knows how many trusting folks list Elizabeth Clover as the wife of William Yost when it hasn't been proven. Plain and simple to accept undocumented information as gospel is nothing less than JUNK GENEALOGY and something I would hope the folks on this list would avoid like anthrax! If it were a perfect world the PROFESSIONALS at LDS/FamilySearch/Ancestry would demand documentation before publishing anything... alas our world is not perfect. Roland has offered much to this list that is worthy of our admiration. To give him the left foot of fellowship because we don't like his opinion is rather un-American in light of the First Amendment to the Constitution (i.e. Freedom of Speech). If you don't appreciate his style, tell him so personally not publicly then delete his messages. At the very least follow Dr. Kerns' lead and un-sub yourself for a while before demanding someone else be thrown off the list. As for those who insist that Roland's message wasn't about genealogy ... think again. DOCUMENTATION is the heart of real genealogy. If you're not going to demand the highest standards in your own work, you're wasting your time! Suppose the hate mail will be aimed at me now. Charlene Turner Smith
