Be compasionate we don't know. We on the list do not care what you pay in tax or how much you have donated all most of us care about is that we are all doing what we can, be that giving money, our time, expertise, prayers or our thoughts. We can't turn back time but we can in our own way do what we can to help. I suspect Kristian will return to the list when ready. Now let us return the list to it's proper users and stop sniping, we who are studying the past should learn from it and not make the same mistakes that have gone before. To anyone who has been effected by this catastrophe I send my most heartfelt thoughts. wishes -- Best regards, Laurence E Stephenson mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] The Rise of the Stephenson Family in Australia http://www.users.bigpond.net.au/steppayne/ Researching:- Butcher, Fortune, Garlick, Mee, Payne, Stephenson, Ritchie, Wittick (Wrightwick, Whitwick, Whittick) Legacy User Group Etiquette guidelines can be found at: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp To find past messages, please go to our searchable archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup%40mail.millenniacorp.com/ To unsubscribe please visit: http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/LegacyLists.asp
