Hi, I've generally enjoyed and appreciated this list for its usefulness in
genealogy research, but if it's unmoderated and(or) if inappropriate
material is going to be distributed, I would like to be unsubscribed.
Sorry for the brevity, but time is short, and I also don't want kids reading
this kind of stuff on my computer. Thanks!

I just discovered info on my Grandmother. Her name was Maud Clemens and her
husband was Samuel Clemens (not the Samuel Clemens LOL) I was wondering if
anyone had info on Clemens in Ashtabula that may match up with mine. PS. I
don't and have never thought of this e-mail from you as trash, no matter what
anyone says. I find your info informative, entertaining and on your part most
likely a lot of extra work. The person who said otherwise had probably never
tried to run a Group site. Bekki
Hi Marcia.
I apologized for sending the joke to this list. It is a very good list to
learn more about genealogy and I hope you stay.
I donate 3 hours of every day to further other's research in the field of
genealogy. My days off it is closer to 6 hours. I don't ever charge for my
time, and in fact drive 3 hours one way at least 6 times a year to do
transcribing of cemeteries for other's gain. I work 12 hours a day, 3 to 4
days a week, and raise (alone) 3 children under the age of 8.
Every once in a while something hits you as funny and you send it to your
friends. I have said that I did not send it to this list on purpose, and I
have apologized. I do not make a habit of sending out jokes. Please
understand and stay.
Everyone else, lets not talk about it anymore please? At least not on the
list.
Sincerely,
Renee Waring
This is just a few of the "jokes" and other worthless trash I have received on your site. I thought this was a genealogical site - so far I have not received anything regarding genealogy! Please remove me from list - like in UNSUBSCRIBE ME NOW.

Dear Listers,
I think we need to lighten up. If someone was offended, I'm sure Renee
apologizes. For those of us who thought it was funny .. well, maybe we needed
a joke today.
Since we all seem to be into Genealogy, I can't help but wonder how many of
our relatives worried about being "politically correct." Most of our families
at some time in history, were the brunt of oppression or jokes. No, it wasn't
nice, but it enabled them to develop strong minds, tough skin, and an ability
to accept others for their differences.
Now, I will get down from my soap box, and continue looking for those
relatives who overcame so much.
Thanks for the read,
Susie Koehrsen
Hi Renee, It never ceases to amaze me of how many people in this world do
not make mistakes!!! As soon as I read your joke , which by the way I have
recieved before from other people, I knew these people would start replying
in protest. I also believe children should be monitored on the computer
anyway!!!
Best Regards,
Marcia

A fellow was ordered by his doctor to lose 75 lbs. due to very serious health
risks. As he wondered how in the heck he would ever do it, he ran across an
ad in the newspaper for a GUARANTEED WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM. "Guaranteed. Yeah
right!" he thought to himself. But desperate, he calls them up and
subscribes to the 3-day/10 pound weight loss program.
The next day there's a knock at his door, and when he answers, there stands
before him a voluptuous, athletic, 19 year old babe dressed in nothing but a
pair of Nike running shoes and a sign round her neck. She introduces herself
as a representative of the weight loss company. The sign reads, "If you can
catch me, you can have me."
Without a second thought he takes off after her. A few miles later, huffing
and puffing, he finally catches her and has his
way with her. After they are through and she leaves, he thinks to himself,
"I like the way this company does business!"
The same girl shows up for the next two days and the same thing happens. On
the fourth day, he weighs himself and is delighted to find he has lost 10
lbs. as promised. He calls the company and orders their 5-day/20 pound
program.
The next day there's a knock at the door and there stands the most stunning,
beautiful, sexy woman he has ever seen in his life, wearing nothing but
Reebok running shoes and a sign around her neck that reads, "If you catch me,
you can have me."
He's out the door after her like a shot. This girl is in excellent shape and
it takes him a while to catch her, but when he
does, it is worth every cramp and wheeze. For the next four days, the same
routine happens and much to his delight, on the fifth day he weighs himself
and found he has lost another 20lbs. as promised. He decides to go for broke
and calls the company to order the 7-day/50 pound program.
"Are you sure?", asks the representative on the phone. "This is our most
rigorous program."
"Absolutely," he replies, "I haven't felt this good in years."
The next day there's a knock at the door and when he opens it he finds
Richard Simmons standing there wearing nothing but pink running shoes and a
sign around his neck that reads, "If I catch you, I can have you."
I agree with you and there is always people out there who are too serious for a little laughter, too many rules make for boring! I really enjoyed the joke! I don't think it is really too explicit either, not anything worse than kids see on the TV. I told my kids the joke and they are always very well informed about all of life. I don't keep my kids in the dark

Hi everyone.
I had someone just ask me about the one name study that I have done on the
Waring family. Here is the message that I sent her. If you are interest I
would be happy to sent it to you as well. Sometimes when you have a hit a
brick wall the best thing to do is collect everything that you can find and
then put it together. We all like puzzles don't we?
Hi Sue.
You collect everything with the Young Family name in Clearfield. I will send
a file that I designed for one name studies for you to use if you like. Some
are using it in England. You would need to have 26 different files, one for
each letter of the alphabet. If you have additional information, creat a
link from that block to the nec. file. As an example, if you would have a
Will for that person you would create a Link from the block "Will" to the
other file that would contain that person's Will. If the cemetery is on line
you can link that block to the web site that contains the cemetery
information. When our cemetery information is up and going on line you will
be able to link to a photo of the stone. Won't that be great? Remember, if
you link to the web site the address will be put into that block. The block
is to small to contain the address but if you place your curser in the
previous block and tab to the next block you can write the cemetery name back
in without destroying the link. You also have to be on line for the link to
work. Does this all make sense to you?
Sincerely,
Renee Waring
