How I Feel About Fighting Old Feuds
and Our No Blame No Hate Policy
by Annette Potter
Friends, cousins and kin on this website are engaged
in the effort of finding our ancestors and in our search we often run across those who are controversial or who have
been accused of crimes
against one family member or another. We do not present the history of our
ancestors to bring up bad feelings or to hurt others.
We never want to harm anyone with information on our site. Our research is done to find our ancestors, good or bad and nothing more.
We DO NOT do research for the purpose of getting
revenge or for besmirching
or blaming family ancestors and their descendants.
Our research is not to dig up controversial history that may harm others but we
do like the murder mysteries and stories about the bad guys or
gals and welcome them. We want to add the more controversial stories without prejudice
or harm.
Although we do enjoy hearing about our bad guy ancestors, we believe all our
ancestors include good and bad qualities. Even the "worst" of our
ancestors exhibited some good qualities and behaviors that can be pointed out
along with the bad. What I believe about the
feuds and fights and other interesting stuff is that it's fine to recall them
and report them, but it's not fine to try to take up the feud or fight in
present day.
Everyone is welcome here and we always want to hear from you
often. We want to add
your pictures and your ancestors, so send them to us and we will happily add
them. We love to read all your comments, feedback, guestbook, and emails. You
don't need to worry about posting brilliant, witty messages because we enjoy and
appreciate all of your comments and feedback even if you just stop in to say hi.
Thanks to everyone who has submitted pictures, info,
corrections and lineages. We just love
every one of you and appreciate you very much!!
With Much Respect and Regard,
Annette Potter
