Original message -------------- <BR>From: "Gary Murray" <<A
href="mailto:gmurray1@cox.net">gmurray1@cox.net</A>> <BR><BR>> i am
one of the fortunate ones. my hutchinson line was a brick wall for <BR>>
about 25 yrs. then out of the b lue 3 very nice ladies filled me in on this
<BR>> line. now this was a line that a distant cousin of mine had all the
time. <BR>> he lived in seattle. he would not share anything. i am such a
believer in <BR>> sharing everything that i have. i sent a lady most all
of my bonney line <BR>> back to adam and eve and she either gave it or
sold it to ancestry.com. all <BR>> of a sudden it was all over the
internet. i just didn't care. if she <BR>> gleaned all there was for her
out of it then to me it was worth it. i have <BR>> spent hundreds of
dollars to see if i could get my data and all the pics i <BR>> have out
to anyone that wanted them. i will cont inue to do so. my <BR>>
hutchinson line went back to elijah dow hutchinson and his birth in 1824 in
<BR>> ohio. that is all i had and now thanks to those ladies i have a ton
of data <BR>> and charts and a little of everything. i have been in az. 4
years and i <BR>> hope to return to oregon this year where i can continue
to research and give <BR>> my time. i personally would like to see
everyone do this about once a year. <BR>> if each person finds one male
in their line and only half find wives w/ <BR>> maiden names, just stop
and think how many of us that would benefit. i have <BR>> every child of
jarius and dr. truman bonney. on dr. truman that is as far <BR>> as i
cared to go since it is jarius who is my direct. these people had <BR>>
12-14 children and most of them married. same goes for elijah d. <BR>>
hutchinson. i do remember the stories on most of these people but i turned
<BR>> down thousands of pics because they were not my direc t line. i
have always <BR>> felt that more people need to "share" rather than worry
about giving away <BR>> their hard work. [just my personal opinion] at
the moment my gene. program <BR>> will not allow me to copy anything to
paper or disk. but when its fixed, <BR>> after i move, then all are
welcome to anything i have. i have found a <BR>> copying place that will
do the pics. all i have ever asked is that i am <BR>> paid for my outlay
of cash. soma do and soma don't. <BR>> gary in az. <BR>> <BR>>
