I have an even MORE pertinent question --
WHY do people insist on posting religious related stuff to
non religious mailing lists (regardless of whether or not they
have checked validity)???
Uh, because they have absolutely NO respect for other people
who might not share their narrow viewpoints and no sense of
appropriate behavior??
Yep. That must be it. ;-)

Hi Folks,
I have organized a surname group for researchers of the WADE surname. The
group will use a combination of traditional source document genealogy and
genetic genealogy (DNA) to further our genealogies. The objective is to
sort out the WADE lines and hopefully find where they connect.
All those who descend from WADE lines, including those with variant
spellings of the surname, such as WAID, WAIDE, McWADE, etc., are encouraged
to join. We currently have seven members in the project and growin
Hello friends:
Just to let you know, the Moore Co. Heritage Book now has brochures which give all details about new book. If you have not been able to access the website:
http://www.nccountyheritage.com/mooreco.html
Please email: moorecobook@yahoo.com
and ask for a brochure.
You do not have to be a resident of Moore County to participate. As with
other recent NC County Heritage Books, you only need to have "roots" in Moore County, and you're "in the book"!
Our next Moore Co. Heritage Book meeting
Searching for information on Charles Cook, Sr., a Baptist minister in Anson
County (NC), ca. 1790-ca. 1820 who died in Anson County ca. 1820. He was born
in VA ca. 1740-1750, married in VA ca. 1765, and came to NC ca. 1780-1790.
Thanks. Bill Simpson.
Why do people post these things before checking them out. No, they have
to send them and cause more flooding of the bandwidth on the internet
with stamps that probably have not existed in the post offices in a
couple of years.
The originators of emails like this are people who are just trying to
stir up trouble. This stamp was issued 3 years ago, before 9-11. For
more information see

Check out the Civil War veterans page for some pictures of graves and the churches and cemeteries pages. Hope to be able to add more in the coming months, and if you have some you'd like to donate, please send them my way.
Would like to wish everyone a happy and safe 4th of July!

Well, there's a stamp that commemorates two Muslim festivals, but a
good-sized chunk of this isn't terribly accurate -- starting with the
fact that the stamp has been out for three years already.
http://www.snopes.com/politics/religion/eidstamp.asp
For what it's worth, it might be worth noting that these attacks on
Americans were not MUSLIM attacks, but were TERRORIST attacks by
extremist groups. The teachings of Islam actually prohibit these
activities, just like the teachings of Christianity and Judais

How ironic is this??!! They don't even believe in Christ and they're getting
their own Christmas stamp, but don't dream of posting the ten commandments on
federal property?

Hello North Carolina Researchers:
For those of you who have a deep interest in how, when and where your Surnames
were formed I would like to direct you to 5 new pages we have recently
added to our
web site.
Many researchers have for years believed that all ancestors with the same
Surname
were at some point related. That is simply not true.
When you get back to proving your pre 1500s ancestors you will discover
that there are
in fact many Surnames that have passed through many families that have no
