My Dear Mr. Scott: I take no personal umbrage as a result of the very strong language in the message you posted in response to one of mine. You did note, did you not, that the information and its source were clearly indicated. I did not do the research. Mr. Kevin Mittge did and he has been an outstanding Robbins family historian and if you did not find any redeeming qualities in his work, your response should have been aimed at him.
A careful review of my posts on many message boards, over 500 of them, would have indicated to you that I am always careful to provide documentation for my work and to clearly indicate when information is not documented.
I suspect that early work has been enhanced as time has passed and better records are available as also are more and more serious and careful research oriented family historians of which you no doubt are one. I am not defending all of Mittge's work concerning early Robbins family members in the USA. The posts of many Robbins contributors are full of errors and mistakes some made by the very best Robbins historians. Progress is made when those who identify such errors are able to provide documentation of their results as you clearly indicated in your message I applaud you for that. One should not be too quick to criticize until all the facts are known.
Kindest regards,
Francis Keenan
