COUSINS,
Have you ever noticed how much research time is wasted & the List Archives
are Cluttered up with our unnecessary Commentary
abt what someone said abt a family member. AND often there is no Solution
Offered . JUST ASKING. CUZ A T <atpowelljr(a)aol.com>

I don't agree that it's time wasted. What it is doing is making others
rethink their information.
I have had many point out to me.. "Your dates don't jive.." I know they
don't & I know why they don't.. But I always thank those who point it out...
Most don't do it to be mean..they are just wanting to correct errors before
they are taken as fact.
PS..my dates don't jive because the widow had starving children, some kind
fellah brought food & she paid in the only way she had... So several
children conceived after the husband died. These kids were supported by the
CW pension.
I have seen assumptions that are very wrong..and I point them out.. But with
supporting information to show the error.
I do agree that if you find error(s) in someone's work...and want to tell
them it's wrong...give the the supporting documentation that proves them
wrong...don't be critical to try to make them feel small...help them to the
right information...it will benefit us all in the long run.
