<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='color:black'>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.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='color:black'> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='color:black'>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 </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>
</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>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.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>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!</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>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.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
