My thoughts on this whole problem is "the not recognizing Stephanie's work"
!  If Stephanie had been consulted, she would have most likely given
permission.  Without Stephanie Flora's name the validity comes into
question.

 

This is why it is so important to validate your work!  We need to know where
you got your info, SS, newspaper, (They are only half correct) birth
records, death records, oral info and from whom, Web site, who submitted it
where did they get it. . . I could go on and on for the people just getting
into genealogy because I am only repeating what's been said at virtually
every seminar , every getting started pamphlet/book and lecture  

                                                  

My problem was someone uploaded a bunch of Malheur County's Marriage records
and they are all wrong. Brothers are married to sisters Father's to
daughters and the names on the death records are misspelled.  I wrote to the
person that submitted everything and couldn't get him to even respond.

 

There is humor in this mess.  Vale has erected a big granite listing of
everyone in the Pioneer Cemetery.  My Uncle's name is wrong!  His marker is
one of about a dozen that are still standing so there isn't any excuse for
his name being wrong!

 

Isn't genealogy fun?  In 1998 I was leaving for the West Coast and so I
singed off of "NorCal".  Just about 15 minutes before Stephanie sent an
email suggesting I stop and look through Vale, Oregon's cemetery.  Because
of her suggestion, I was able to connect one of my lines.  I had thought
there was an extra generation.

 

I will support her.
