	got another one!!!!! I personally dont think it is fair that members who give up their time to transcribe parish records should be asked to do look ups as well, if everyone done this, what would be the point of transcribing them. There are over 3000 baptisms for ******. I photographed the images, so when the transcriptions appear on the website, you can ask to see the original images. my suspicion's are correct I think.

	Geez this man is a control freak! another member just emailed the group to say she had parish records of a parish very dear to my heart,so I sent her an email (through the site) and asked if she happened across any names of mine if she'd let me know.Just had another email from him to say they were being transcribed and I can wait!!!!!

Member Since: April 2006 Posts: 1,490 Send Message	My goodness, how pathetic . I can't see what on earth was wrong with what you did!! Maybe it is a case of "knowledge is power"! Don't stop helping others Sam Spade. Can't you report him to anyone and say you found his email upsetting? Marcelle
