Subject: [THOMPSON-L] REPOST! READ CAREFULLY!

Thanks in advance: I wish I could assist everyone who wrote to me, but
until someone connects to my dead end, which I posted, I can be of no
help.

I have had a few "nutters" contact me with requests for data and
opinions as to my motives. I have enough to work on already so it is of
little consequence as to what the non-genealogists may think. I have no
way of knowing what I do not have. My reputation is faultless on
whatever list I have worked on and my assistance in the technical area
of software has often been commended. I share and I help, I do not
criticize nor throw stones at those less knowledgeable. But, I do take
to heart and listen carefully to those who are more knowledgeable. I
have a comfortable acquaintance with all aspects of genealogy and all
available sites for gleaning information. Time is what I do not have nor
the easily available off-line resources.

The pattern below has been posted a number of times. It can't get any
clearer then this. Ethnicity is irrelevant as is origin. You either have
a connection or you do not--yes or no, as one person put it. If you do
and only if you do, would I like to make contact with you
to--share--data.

Me! Al Dempster
Betty Lenore Thompson+James Kemp Dempster my parents
John Claydon Thompson+Sadie Idell Upper my grandparents
Elgin Thompson+Alice Zimmerman my ggrandparents
Nathaniel Thompson+Rosannah Moore my gggrandparents

DEAD END

I can share only that much per. the names at this time. I have the data,
etc. for them but not their predecessors. The data for the above is in
the IGI data bases already. The remainder of my tree is spurious and
unsubstantiated--it is there that I may be able to assist and guide at
some future date.

Please do not contact me unless you have worthwhile data to share. It
should be obvious, that if you do not see a name here that you
recognise, then please DO NOT CONTACT ME.

--
The cycle of our intermingled lives brought forth the seeds of an
intermingled friendship...no strings attached, none expected.

"From the lone shieling of the misty island,
Mountains divide us and the waste of seas;
Yet still the blood is strong, the heart is Highland,
And we in dreams behold the Hebrides.

Fair these broad meads, these hoary woods are grand --
But we are exiles from our fathers' land."

That's all for now. Best wishes -- Rob
