Beautifully put, Candace. Did you know that genealogists must spend many hours in courthouses, archives and libraries, poring over old records? These places are only open during regular business hours. Anyone so engaged must be up early in the morning and in bed early in the evening. That leaves little time to play on the Internet in the wee hours. True, I'm sure. But also true that work of this sort could be done in spurts and that the compiling of the data into cohesive reports could be done any time, day or night...I would surmise, anyway. I have a friend who has consistently slept only 3-4 hours per night. I've always envied all the extra time she has sucked out of life. She's one of those hyper sorts. She actually has hyperthyroidism (which is treated) but I don't know if that's a factor or if she just has a very high metabolism. Like I said, it's a fascinating story. I'm glad I don't have to go into work until later today so I can do a little reading. Candace Dig deeper. That is always where the good stuff is. |

There are lots of things that people don't take lightly and are referred to on NGs. I said Hitler like dogs which is true and Mary said Sieg Heil baby. Your response to Mary is where exactly ? This thread is about Mary and her deception and your diversion tactic is not going to stop responses about her. Alison Look, Alison. This is no "diversion tactic"...puhleeze. I'm so very sorry I was not privvy to the whole "Godwin's Law" before your Hitler liked dogs post. Now I am. |

Also, a lot of stuff that used to have to be done at the actual library, courthouse, etc can now be done online. I traced my father's family back to the 1770's when the family first came to the US entirely on the Internet. I also went to the UVA archives online and they pretty much scan everything and have it available for anyone to search. I found Civil War letters written by an ancestor, all from my home. Then again, I never hung out on the genealogy newsgroup, so what the heck do I know? -Kelly |

Yeah, I just read that very site. And I agree...I'm positive the thread is far from over! Well, we needed something to fill in the gap now that the endless Conan threads are dying away. We wouldn't want to just talk about cats, would we? Candace |

"Work" for geneaologists is scarce, at best. How many people - or businesses for that matter - do you know who hire a genealogist? NONE. Tracing family histories isn't neuroscience - a LOT of people do it. And a *ton* of it can be had online - there are tons of sites dedicated to it and many people have *already done your work for you*. And you yourself said you travel for business BY CAR - right up to Richmond to check the VA records, right? Keep blowing the bull****. You are just digging yourself deeper. -L. |

Crikey people. We have now hit a new all time low. Congrats! You obviously haven't been paying attention. Read the OP. Search a little yourself. She's definitely as menatlly ****ed up as he was. -L. |
