Dear Christy,

Hello, your post was PERFECT!! I almost wanted to jump out of my chair and
shout YOU GO GIRL!!! after reading that. I know that you have asked, very
nicely I might add, that we move on to other topics, but I am so glad you
posted this. Whether we like it or not and whether we want to talk about it
or not or even we agree with each other or not, this is a big part of
transitioning to a professional genealogist. All of us on this list that
are serious about this profession and are very serious about our own
businesses or potential businesses care very deeply about this. It really
strikes at the very core of who we are and who we want to be.

Nobody has all the answers. What we do have is a new crop of budding
professional genealogist that need our guidance, encouragement and support.
How we as a whole treat them will determine the future of the profession.


Sincerely,
Melissa Barker
Genealogist for Tennessee and Kentucky
