This list seems to be turning into a matter of prosopography (individual
collective biography). Could list members recall that there are other places
to discuss geneaology and antiquarian research as well.
Could we focus on history, the individual interpretations of facts which can
be verified? Someone's feelings about the memories that their relative had
about what they understood to have happened in the past is rather far
afield.
Much of the family history discussed on this list is interesting, but really
belongs elsewhere.
Why don't some of the posters who constantly refer to their own family
histories try to broaden the discussion to the ideas which that family
history reflects.
Thank you.
(new thread to start soon)
