sent letter Oct 2002 Date: 11/04/2002 3:20:38 PM Pacific Standard Time From: jdw@milwpc.com T o: jaywilpolt@aol.comI received your letter and ancestor lists. Where did you find all this in formation. Where is the connection of me to you ? Some of the informati on listed is not correct according to my records. On checking with the register of deeds, the lady said they go by what was told to them and cann ot be changed unless there is proof. James Rhoder would have been my mothers brother if he hadnt died before my mother was born. There are some other discrepancies which I will change on the sheets you sent, then return them to you. You can e-mail me if you want but nothing that all those others, out there on the net, might use adversely. JackDate: 12/28/2002 6:56:17 PM Pacific Standard Time From: jdw@milwpc.comI received your letter and showed it to my brother. He was cold to giving out any more information. I must confess that genealogy doesnt interest me all that much. I could never devote the time and effort that you have. I like woodworking and "big band" music, science and playing with the computer. ( not much time searching the Net though) I have a few old friends all over the map that keep in touch by e-mail. If any of my other relatives show any interest in our genealogy, I'll have them contact you. Jack D. (Has 5 children, but in Dec 2002 didnt want to give info)
