I am having a bit of fun!

Taking what I say seriously is not a good idea.

Those Thomas are only related to me by marriage.

We are talking about my Cutler line here which is one of the 4 major lines in my family and I am more than fond of them!!! (Even though they all lived within a few feet of each other, had huge families and named their children the same and all married a Mary or John.)

If I was worried about minor criminals I would have trouble with my wife who has 7 convicts in her direct line. :P


Then you should be careful of what you say, this is not my idea of having fun. I am not referring to criminals who were sent to Australia,we all know that it was a dreadful thing to do to people in those days especially when families were starving .How can you be" not fond" of families long gone. They are a part of you.Dt :-)

I wouldn't have a tree with 15,000 relatives (of which approx 12,000 are Ag Labourers) if I wasn't fond of them.

I certainly wouldn't be minutely reading 18th century maps looking for Henny Lane in Shropshire like I have been for the last 4 hours.

Don't laugh so hard Rob! It's embarrassing when your teeth shoot across the room.

And I would expect more from you DT. After all your husband is a 25th cousin 12x removed!


So what did you mean " exspect more from me? and my husband being 25th cousin 12x removed"" , it sounded like sarcasm to me. Dt

You really have misunderstood a harmless bit of fun.

You were laughing along with Rob so I was pretending to be offended by reminding you that we are (distant) family.

Perhaps I should use the smilies :P so puns and jokes are more obvious to those not used to my Aussie sense of humor?

It has been many years since somebody has taken offense at something I have posted!!!

Believe me when I say I was not being nasty or rude or disrespectful or dismissive or sarcastic or trying to be offensive in any way.

I am sorry you took it the wrong way.

P.S. The "criminals" sent to Australia lived longer, had more food and more opportunities than the families they left behind. In a way they were the lucky ones and escaped the poverty that made them criminals in the first place. Daniel Cutler had no excuse. He was just a crook.

That's ok Mark. Perhaps i am a little sensitive. Its hard to read someone without seeing them,and I worry that I have upset them. I am not very good at banter. If i was a bloke I would probably be unconcerned .i am glad we are friend again dt :-)
