I've just got to get this off my chest. I know everyone says not to put
too much info into a post. No one wants to plow through a whole lot of
garbage just to find it does not apply to them.
However, could everyone please try to include places in addition to
their dates? Do you have any idea how many John CARR's or James or
Joseph's there have been? I plow through tons of messages that only
have dates only to find later on that they were half way accross the
country from where I am looking. Alternately, I get so tired of that
type of experience that any more I just ignore most postings that do not
have locations. I may miss posts that do match because of it. If you
don't know for sure where someone was born, or died, or married, make a
good guess ( i.e. VA ?). People post here from all over the world!
Same is true of dates. If you don't know when someone was born, you
have some idea. Bef. 1850, or betw. 1810 & 1830, or ca 1770. At least
give us a century and a country.
Thank you to all those of you who don't do this kind of thing, and to
you I apologize.
Climbing off soapbox,
