YES. We are. That's how we all learn. What's the old Chinese proverb? It works so well in genealogy. And I am always grateful for someone to lead me to a new resource or teach me a new technique. I have neither name in my family tree. But a suggestion to all ..... time is so short for many of us who try to do 'volunteer' as well as handle clients, perhaps an office job, etc. and our own genealogy, that we do not have time to just send stuff out not knowing if it has a connection. Even when the surname is unusual, a good idea, it seems to me, is to 1) if a general request ... in other words you just want everything ... is to give the * SURNAME, MAJOR GEOGRAPHICAL AREA AND A TIME PERIOD. * Believe me, it will normally bring better and quicker results because someone is going, hopefully, to recognize it and respond. I have to be honest --- without this I don't bother. 2) if a specific person you are looking for, then you should give the facts ... not a whole history but at least the person's full name (MAIDEN NAME OF WOMEN please), the vitals, who, when, where md. And very often as many on this list and other list have seen, even if it's not my line I'll still try to help. But seldom do I take the time to write back and say "please give us ...." I try to help where I can but I have my own unfinished work to do, research for others, organizational work, etc. Time simply does not allow. Please help us to help you by giving some details. Good luck!
