No, I sent it. Must have disappeared into cyberspace, or else your reply
thing doesn't work. Never mind.

I wasn't whining. I was commenting. I keep saying, it doesn't bother me.

I've been doing genealogy (not specifically medieval genealogy) for almost
25 years. I can't remember when I got my lot further back than Burke's
(which was in error) by a couple of hundred years.

I'm not particularly looking for linkage to royalty, so it's not laziness. I
have genealogical specialities other than looking for royal blood. And I'm

found, for myself, and clients.
