To Whom this may Concern,
My name is Nancy Miller, I am sorry to say that I am not to
shy and lot of people out their will not like want I have to
say, BUT AGAIN SORRY I DON'T CARE ANY MORE. So I will go a
head and speak my peace with you all and you all know who I
mean.
As I said my name is Nancy Miller, I live in Orlando, Fl, but
have recently bought some property in Sumter County. Because
of the fact that I am a Genealogist and I might add a very
good one at that. I decided to help the GENWEB Project with
information that I was able to obtain and gather. Why now I'm
not SURE. I added my name to the mail list as requested to
do and I do ANSWER my MAIL and RESPOND to OTHERS question's.
I do research for people for FREE and look for Information in
town's that have some interest to me and to others. With this
Information that retrieve I donate IT to local Historical
Societies and now I THOUGHT to the GENWEB Project. You see I
even obtain permission from the County Courthouses to get them
to allow their on employees to help with this Stuff that
apparently a lot of people out their with this project don't
won't to obtain on their on. I have spent my time and money
not including travel to help. WHY, because I was a Volunteer.
BUT GUESS WHAT????? Since we are all VOLUNTEERS and not one
person alone can gather all of this information on their on, I
would like TO ASK YOU ALL ONE BIG Question ????, Why,
when you are offered not once, not twice, but good Lords know
how many times someone's Assistance with yours or this
project DO YOU NOT TAKE IT, Do you not think us small
volunteers deserve a return E-MAIL, PHONE CALL or even a darn
tin can strung to our doors to answer our call of
DONATIONS, you see we would give you what we could to help
you IF YOU YOU WOULD ONLY TAKE IT. SO WHY CAN'T you treat us
with the same respect that we are only willing to Give and you
as County Coordinators demand. I AM NOW MAKING THAT DEMAND
for all of us small meaningless Genealogist and by no mean's
do I consider myself or the work that I do Meaningless, BUT,
I guess the work that we do is not as important as yours.
BECAUSE, THAT'S THE WAY YOU MAKE US FEEL.
Please make no mistake I am not trying to pin point just one
person here because I have help several County Coordinator's
and they have taken the information that I can give and used
it. Heck I even found a new friend who belongs to the same
Church that I do in the Panhandle and I never knew who she was
till this project came along, but guess what I live 400 mile's
away from there now but she was able to use and accepted my
information without a 6 month delay in excuses non returned
calls or mails.
I might be sounding a tad bit critical here, but I thought
this Project was suppose to be TEAM WORK. After all if we all
passed away tomorrow someone would have to enter our names
into a database and send it somewhere so our children and
Grandchildren could find the Information THAT I THOUGHT WE
WERE ALL HERE TO FIND AND PROVIDED. Like I said at the
beging a lot of you guy's and girl's will not like what I have
to say BUT SOOOORRRYYY!!!!! Actualy I'm not, because now
If you want my Information from you Pay for it. OR do the
WORK YOURSELF, because I am tired of Doing what I went to
school for, For NOTHING especially when you don't want it
any WAY. I will continue with my work and help those who
really want it so I hope I find you in Good health with you
all and I remain,
Sincerely Yours,
Nancy Miller
