"Have a look at the first portrait of Raquel Welch, as it is B. C. surely this picture is on Topic, as well as a classic. Go to "all Portraits" and in the search box enter 1940----yes, Raquel Welch is already 64."

A picture of Raquel Welch is on topic?

What she is depicted in, surely was before 1600 the cuf-off date for
gen-med?

Unlike the above message obviously.

I think the observation by WJhonson was petty and a waste of everybodys
time, if he disagreed he could have sent it to me----if he had, I would have
explained why I made that remark. He was ignoring the rest of the sentence,
which was an explanation as to how you can search amongst the portraits,
something not very clearly explained on that page of the website.
I chose Raquel Welch, I could as easily have suggested the year 1533 where a
famous portrait of Queen Elizabeth I has been added, a portrait made by
Crispijn van de Passe.

I thought that would get you :-) but again you look at only one aspect of my
messages, ignoring what it is all about-----it is what is being said that
counts (how to search for portraits) not how it is said (apparently,
stirring up a petty person)

Leo,

You just lower YOURSELF to the petty by continuing this childish
slanging match, which is absolutely content-free.

Leave It....

And Learn The Lesson That Todd Has NOT Learned.

Dear Leo,

At the least, you'd expect someone who signs himself in correspondence
as "Professional Genealogist," to tell us that Raquel's mother is
(was?) a WASP with a Mayflower descent.

I guess that'd be "off topic."

Who signs himself a Professional Genealogist? I don't think WJhonson does,
and I certainly don't. I am aware Raquel's mother makes that claim but as
it is unsubstantiated, why add to the confusion.

WJhonson, Leo contributes more to medieval genealogy as whole in a
week than most posters do in a lifetime. So maybe he wasn't perfectly
on topic with the entire post, but we don't need a parenting service
going around and correcting us when we step slightly off-topic. There
is nothing wrong with a little humor and friendly discussion, it makes
life worth living.

Oooo I guess today is "get Will day" ;)
OK to address your heinous barb ... I don't KNOW that she is a Mayflower descendent, and why would I care if she was a WASP? None of her cousins have paid me yet to prove her descent. If you know any, set me up.

And yes that she is or was or whatever a descendent is off-topic since this is about MEDIEVAL genealogy. Now if this list is supposed to also cover all the hundreds of millions of people with Medieval descent, we'd get a few thousand emails a day :)

I couldn't agree more. Who designated some of these people to scold
others. Talking about anyone's genealogy brings up new links and
interesting discoveries. Since everyone has ancestry before 1600, an
occassional reference to someone after that date should not generate
the silly e-mails scolding others. Raquel Tejada Welsh, has a
Bolivian father -- who presumably came from the elite there -- and as
such likely has noble/royal Inca ancestry -- and presumably Spanish
noble and royal ancestry in the middle ages. If someone knows these
lines -- that would add to our knowledge. Based on genealogies
generated, estimates in Peru (and Bolivia was once part of the
Viceroyalty of Peru) are that 80 percent of those with predominately
Spanish ancestry there have Spanish medieval royal ancestry. Best
Regards.

And as you can see this thread now has [OT] in the subject thus marking it as off-topic which it is. That is the generally accepted form for making an off-topic thread. But no matter what "rules" are imposed, there are still people who will carp forever about being required to follow them.
:) Have a nice day!
