Subject: [CARDEN-L] Name changes to Carden
Lynn Bateman writes: "Apparently the Jones' were originally
named
Kritschgau
and it was George who changed their name to Jones on his marriage to

be
called Jones?
Well Lynn Bateman, I look at it in this manner.....I really wasn't given an
option as to which
name I wanted to "be called." But I definitely do have a choice in whether
or not to accept
your demeaning assertion, "who wants to be called Jones?"
Earlier, whenever I read your note to the list, I reluctantly held off from
giving you a reply.
I realized anyone that biased and inconsiderate of another family name
wouldn't have the
mental capability to comprehend other's feelings.
I will say this....I'm very happy that you're a Bateman and not a JONES!!
Because if you
were, you would have had proper "upbringing" and would have never made such
a
statement.
