Hello,
FYI Gene Zubrinski is the foremost Carpenter family research in North America. He is
acknowledged by genealogists far beyond our Carpenter Cousins list for his high
professional standards and integrity. He is a published author, and held in great esteem
by professional genealogists as well as amateurs. There are many others on the list who
have expressed their desire to keep the list exclusively for discussion of genealogical
issues, and have expressed this; just check the archives.
I have no issue with folks who have different views than mine. There are many venues for
all of us to express our diverse opinions. But the Carpenter Cousins list is not such a
venue, and never was intended to be such.
I've not sent this to the whole list, as I feel it would be inappropriate. However, I
do feel compelled, since you say you are new to the list, to give you the history and
purpose of the list.
Best wishes.

Well said Gail. I guess some people forget that the delete key is universal. As one who
has followed this list for a number of years Gene's departure is a true loss. Perhaps
some remember the difficulties we went through with Bruce Carpenter. Iron that is tested
by fire comes out the stronger.
