I also quote various sources in cases of conflicting information. It is the key to objectivity ‹ and truth. I'm always astonished what some people feel they are communicating when they list no source ‹ just a bunch of names. As a retired newspaper and magazine editor, I also am conscious of the possibility of errors in all records, including public records. Many people feel if they got it from a public record it has to be right. Well, if they quote the public record, the information will be accurate, even factual. But it still will not necessarily be truthful, unless the record is accurate. This is fundamental. I know it is preached on this list. I believe, therefore, the information generally is better on this list, even if there may be fewer submissions. dhamrick@neo.rr.com Dan Hamrick 402 23rd Street NW Canton OH 44709 ---------- >From: "Billie Jo Runyon" <billiejo@gte.net> >To: WVPENDLE-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: Re: Heveners, Mallow, etc. >Date: Mon, Jul 5, 1999, 8:30 PM > >Daniel and others.......kind of like you the only "real" information I have >is from books of others.
