<DIV>Amen to the sharing, I had to delete my Family Tree website as a relative that I did not have contact with or know how to contact, objected to her side of the family being on my website.</DIV>

<BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">-------------- Original message -------------- <BR>From: "Gary Murray" <gmurray1@cox.net> <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 continue 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 direct 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>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> ----- Original Message ----- <BR>> From: "Leslie Chapman" <REEDSPORTCHAPMANS@VERIZON.NET><BR>> To: <OR-ROOTS@SOSINET.SOS.STATE.OR.US><BR>> Sent: Sunday, March 19, 2006 12:44 PM <BR>> Subject: [or-roots] Brickwalls redux <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> >I can understand your frustration Karla, but just let me give you an <BR>> >example <BR>> > of why mosts lists like to do this little thing, even though it drives a <BR>> > lot <BR>> > of folks nuts who have signed up, often without realizing they have <BR>> > volunteered to recieve unspecified quantities of email from total <BR>> > strangers <BR>> > [and boy are some of us strange] in their inbox. <BR>> > <BR>> > Mosts lists call it simply "Roll Call" the Wheeler list which is another <BR>> > list I am on that has historically been very active though has been slow <BR>> > of <BR>> > late, as much as a week going by without a post, as opposed to my Pierce <BR>> > list which was dissolved because the host refused to allot space to a list <BR>> > that only got a post every year or two. <BR>> > <BR>> > My point is that there may be a Newbie out there who is sitting on their <BR>> > grand-dad's diary that they just happened to look at last week again and <BR>> > wondered who the heck all of thos John Smiths were in Podunk that came to <BR>> > Boring with grandpa, now if it happens to be John smith, John Smith Jr. <BR>> > and <BR>> > John Smith the third from Podunk that moved to Boring with "your grandpa" <BR>> > and you posted that question last year and Mr Newbie isn't curious enough <BR>> > about these folks to do a google or whatever on them, the two of you might <BR>> > not connect, but if Mr Newbie has been lurking here for the last three <BR>> > months and you repost your John Smiths and the name resonate with him <BR>> > enough <BR>> > for him to dig out the diary and reread it, you might have the proverbial <BR>> > "Gold Mine" <BR>> > <BR>> > My personal brick wall is who was the Mrs Barnes that nursed my great <BR>> > grandfather Milan Morell Melvin through an epidemic on the Wagon Train to <BR>> > Wherever the heck they first came to (first inof we have hard knowedge is <BR>> > thier residing in Del Norte Co Cal, but no wagon train terminus near <BR>> > there??) <BR>> > <BR>> > But back to my story [now you can see why every tiime I open my mouth at <BR>> > family gatherings somebody stuffs my foot in it] <BR>> > I came on here a year or two ago in answer to a similar complaint about <BR>> > why <BR>> > repost and I threw out one of my dead ends by example, just like the above <BR>> > Mrs Barnes story and one of the people on the list googled my question and <BR>> > there was my answer.
