Why not just start building a location database of our own? Seems all we need is: PlaceName-Long-Lat Put into a 3 column spreadsheet and doing a two level sort on long and then lat would show every name associated with any particular long/lat- right? Get as many other legacy users, even others

The only problem with those message boards and mailing lists is the same as this one- Each seems to be topic limited and there is no board/list that I have found that allows a free ranging discussion of genealogy in general. Is anyone aware of such a board/list anywhere? It is all well and good

Actually, if you use any of the Rootsweb mailing lists it is a *very* normal setting as that is the only type of mail they accept. HTML was designed for the World Wide Web and should never have been used by any e-mail program to begin with. - Original Message - On Thu, Jul 29, 2010 at

It is not unusual for the same word to mean different things in different fields. Black may well be right when speaking of legal definitions but entirely wrong in speaking of the field of genealogy. Remember -16 ounces equals one pound,except, of course, when speaking of precious metals; in tha

Ron, Since all the info from the old IGI is going into the new Family Search it has a direct connection to it. the NFS should *only* contain extracted data-period. User submitted Family Group Sheets simply are not evidence, and thus have no place in a Database of genealogical records. - Or
