Great expectations: Not a worthwhile
genealogy attribute
DearREADERS,
Thanks to a good friend, Jean Palmer, who forwarded this posting and comments
"MYRT, I THINK THIS IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF WANTING SOMEONE ELSE TO DO YOUR
RESEARCH!"
Ol' Myrt nearly fainted at the thought of someone
making the following posting to an Ancestry.com message board that automatically
cross-posted to the corresponding genealogy mailing list at RootsWeb. How anyone
can expect others to just do the research for them is beyond me. Clearly the
1900 US federal census and a reasonable county history would be easy to access
if one TRULY wished to find out more about these ancestors. Read for yourself:

If we could have it served to us on a silver

Happy family tree climbing!
