Subject: Re: [APG] 1st genealogy pub in America - 284 years ago today
Date: Fri, 9 May 2008 10:50:16 EDT
I've opened several posts on this thread, but hadn't had any reason to join
in---UNTIL this morning, when the following message was in my inbox:
"Email survey from the distillers of the Classic Malts"
I deleted it, then remembered it hadn't said [APG], so I yanked it from the
trash. It was an actual survey! And the only malt I've ever had was in those
chocolate Whoppers.
Why me? And why in the midst of y'all's pub reminiscing?
(Just passing this along, for a chuckle.)

Joan - I have never heard of such a society. Thank you for bringing it to
our attention. What a hoot!
I have ancestors who ran a tavern in New Amsterdam. They often got in
trouble with the authorities for selling liquor to "Indians." After her
husband's death my 8G grandmother was finally evicted from the city for not
mending her ways and lived out her years in Schenectady.
I'll check into this! Looking forward to creating our gen pub in KC next
week for those interested!
