Dear confused,

"Arlene Eakle is a prolific genealogy writer with more than 90 titles completed." Normally this type of a statement refers to book titles which sounds about right for the wonderful materials that Arlene Eakle has produced.

More than 90 books authored or co-authored plus two blogs, too many magazine articles to count... She certainly qualifies as a "a prolific genealogy writer."

You can explain your weird words in the comment, but ...
if you had written English in the first place, I would have understood immediately.
Please try to understand that this is the Internet, where people do understand English, but are likely to have serious problems with your local slang, expressions and sayings.
Write English please.

Thanks so much for posting the "heads-up"(I think that is slang for "pay attention)regarding Arlene Eakle's blogs. I wasn't aware of either of them, and they seem to cover topics I am extemely interested in.

Thanks for the vital info....and I didn't even get confused while reading it!! Keep writing the way you do, without you I'd not have known a lot that I now do...the smidgen (for those that get "confused" means a small amount) of genealogy information I started with before I found you has grown mightly.

Thank you so much for the Arlene Eakle information. It was very clear to me what "90 titles completed" means. Your newsletter is a valuable resource and a daily pleasure to read.

[Paul Arwood]

Titles completed means medals won.
Google it.

I enjoy your daily news bits - keep up the good work. I'm also looking forward to using Arlene Eakles website as some of my ancestors come from North Carolina and I can't say I'm particularly worried how many titles she has written - who has time to count anyway! Just be grateful that she has done a goodly number of interesting and helpful articles for all to benefit from. I wonder how many genealogical facts have slipped past various researchers just because it wasn't written in what they call "proper English"! I hope you have your diabetic condition under control and are keeping well Dick.

Thanks for bringing Arlene's web site to our attention. Though I have met Arlene at conferences I had not heard about her Library. What a wonderful thing she is doing for genealogy community. I think your readers would like to know that her library will accept your genealogy research documents when you can no longer do research. So many of us have been researching for years and have gathered all sorts of documents from all over the world, only to find that no one in our family wants all of this paper. Arlene will take your documents and make the information available to others through her library. We do need to get the word out.
