Hello John:

I would like to express my opinion regarding the altering and "second guessing" of information regarding births on Brian's website. PLEASE leave well enough alone.....the "filling in of gaps" is in fact adding data that is not original to Brian's transcriptions from the registry films, and which is clearly indicated on his site to be the original source of his material.

Any additional information you might wish to supply should be separate and apart from Brian's work, or at least indicated as such on a separate page using a link on Brian's site. This new data could be helpful as long as everyone is well aware of its source and indicating it to be "additional" to the original source.

Anything else is, in my opinion only vilifies what Brian had accomplished.

Regards,
Pat
