Message Board Post:
Hi Folks,
I have no connection to Jackson County, Indiana or to the Ruddick family of that county.
However, I am a regular correspondent of Lewis M. Ruddick. Lewis and I have traded
information for the last several years as we've worked to separate our sometimes
-possibly- confused & mixed-up lines of Ruddicks and Reddicks.
We've also both undergone Y-STR DNA tests of our male, paternal Y-chromosomal
inheritance. This has been done to find either connections (discover genetic relatedness)
or else prove that we aren't related (we are -not- related, as proven by the results
of the DNA testing).
Yesterday, Lewis posted a query to this message board. Earlier today I noticed that his
message had been removed to another, dead-end message board having absolutely nothing to
do with either Jackson County or the Ruddick family.
Some busybody 'Luddite' removed Lewis' message posting from this message board
and sent it off to that meaningless place where it serves no use. You can see evidence of
that placement at the end of this message (the notification sent to me).
Anyhow, I just thought that you should be made aware that there are individuals working to
-suppress- genealogical queries and discussion with which those individuals disagree.
Oh, the original message is archived via the Jackson County e-mail list. So, it
hasn't disappeared. The original posting can be read via the following URL:
http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/INJACKSO/2006-10/1162052569
That also means that this message shouldn't wholly and totally disappear should some
'Luddite' take offense at its appearance and have it removed.
Sincerely,
Dale E. Reddick

"Looking for any Jackson County male Ruddick whose line extends back to Virginia who
would be willing to complete a Y DNA genealogical test. We need additional participants
specifically from our family surname. At this time I am the only member from our line who
has participated and my results stand alone among all the R320 participants.
If you are a Ruddick male and interested in our genealgy, please consider participating.
Contact me lruddick(a)ix.netcom.com
