To The List:
I subscribed to this list to see if there might be any connections for my own
family lines. The first three posts I have received have been filled with a
discussion of the pros and cons of membership in the Huguenot Society of
America?
I understood that genealogy was a common thread to find our heritage,
no matter where we came from regardless of politics, religion or race.
I have found nothing on the Internet that will help me with look ups or base
information for family lineage relating primarily to Huguenot families, with the
exception of their religious history.
As I read it, the Huguenot society furnishes a great deal of information, but that is
restricted to members search. Is that correct? Living in a tiny community with an
antiquated library and no access to a FHC within a hundred miles. I depend on these
lists and available information on the Internet.
Now if you folks can put your differences in your pocket long enough, I would
like to ask a question. What is the purpose of this list?
If I won't find any discussion related to what I am looking for, please let me
know so I can happily unsubscribe .
The world would be so much better,

If all our records were kept in one place,
If each Surname was in a single database
If all of our histories were easy to trace
If the government had taken better care,
If now, all of the censuses were still there.
If a signature labeled every photo's face.
If old paper copies would never fade
If initials had never been all the rage,
If every available record was offered free.
If mom and dad had offered a key.
If women had been considered as a 'we'
Internet Genealogy would be rid of me!
