<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yes, I think the information should be shared but
my complaint comes when people refuse</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>to correct information that is wrong
even when you send them records showing they are</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>wrong. (Especially when its a direct

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>>
