Hi All,
I am writing this because I have seen so many people write in and say
they delete most of the messages before they are read if the names they
are searching are not in the heading of the message. I am a Genealogist,
and I leave no stone unturned. It is a good idea to read all messages,
if you have time and a large hard drive. Each message is inquiring about
a person or family thay are searching for. There might be a connection
to a sister or brother of your family which may lead you to a mother or
father or maybe both. Fo example, names that are so common as Jones. I
save all messages with the Jones Surname in the same time frame, or
earlier, and area where my Thomas Jones, son of James, was born. It
could lead me to a brother or sister of my James Jones, which I have no
information on at the present time. I may get a lead that wayon James
Jones Parents. You probably all knew this, but I just wanted to throw it
out there. As a Genealogist, we search every piece of the puzzle and
don't discard any piece until it is thoroughly investigated.
Thank you
Shawnnee
