Subject: [PENNINGTON-L] Re: Great help for maiden name res
Date: Tue, 16 Jun 1998 17:37:57 EDT
I posted the following message yesterday which was fowarded to me by another
party. I never stated this was fact or that I had proven it to be so. Only
that it might be helpful to someone. I have recieve nearly a 100 replies to
this posting. Some good, while other were totally rude! I thought these
lists where so we could help each other. A place where we were able to pass
on any possible leads. It was not my intent to mislead anyone or do harm. But
am very offend by all the stone tossers on these lists. I think one should
think before he speaks....and respond to others the way he would like to be
treated. So please no more nasty letters!
