Subject: Plea for Steven Coker From: J. R. Hollingsworth Date: February 12, 1998 Adrian Steven Coker placed online on SC Roots a number of messages relating to the holdings of the SC Library relating to Genealogy. Talk about timely. Next Saturday the Humble Area Genealogical Society is having its annual seminar, featuring Brent Howard Holcomb, a professional genealogist from SC. How many time have I been to seminars and come away with a few notes and not much else of continuing use. I copied Steve's postings into my word processor and massaged the repetitions away, added a few headings, and Walla! -- a 10 page handout for us to distribute at the seminar. It is easy to say that the numerous postings occupied too much space in the messages, and perhaps he should have paced the number to 5 a day or some number, but the value of the information to our Genealogical Society is immense. I wrote some time ago thanking you for keeping a close watch on your web site, but in communicating to Steve about permission to use his postings, he informed me that you had excommunicated him from the fellowship of the list. This is written to plead with you to reinstate him, and to allow others to post similar [albeit shorter] informative details about where to find research sources.
