Sorry, I missed this post, until now.

Hello John - I finally figured out who you are. You were, are and always have been a LOSER, just like your drunken father and promiscuous mother. Get over yourself and give it up! I dumped you for another guy 26 years ago. If you were the last man on Earth, I'd become a lesbian. What's the matter; your second wife found you out and dumped you and you're looking for a handout?

I am going to send her copies of these e-mails and I am going to call the police again and attach all this to the police report I made last time you tried to call contact me. You must be at work, so I am also going to have my attorney contact your employer. It's called stalking and Texas takes it seriously. You didn't learn your lesson when I reported you to the Navy for fraudulently receiving BAQ. Well, you are going to learn your lesson now!

Just what are you curious about and why don't you reveal who you are? Are you one of America's MOST WANTED or something?

Re: Aunt Ethel

2006-11-01 22:26:18Z

You lied and said you knew my Aunt. This website is for persons doing geneology research.

You aren't related to me and the fact that you never told me your name confirms you are a fraud and I am going to report you!

Re: Aunt Ethel

2006-10-31 22:13:56Z

What story are you referring about your aunt? I am just communicating to you from a open website. No fraud. Not selling or buying anything. Curiosity got the best of me. I will leave you alone. Bye.

Look, I don't know who you are or what your game is, BUT there is NO connection between Joellen Drag, her husband and my Aunt.

I met Joellen & her husband in California. We were only in the same city for two years. Neither of them EVER came to New York to visit me or my Aunt, nor did they know my Aunt; and my Aunt never came to California.

So if you don't tell me who you are and what this story about my Aunt you're fabricating is about; I will report you for Internet fraud.

I spelled their last name incorrectly. Joellin Drag (Osland, spelling)

2006-10-20 21:07:46Z

The name Oslund doesn't ring a bell. What's your name?

Re: Ethel Muraca - New York

You introduced your aunt to me. We have common friends--Oslands.

How do you know her? I probably don't know you. I left Utica in 1974 when I joined the Navy. I did come back to visit her several times, though.

Re: Anthony Muraca - New York

2006-10-19 20:16:21Z

I knew her between 1974-80. Sorry for your loss in her passing.

Did or do you have any relatives in Utica? My maternal grandfather's surname was Miraca.

My Aunt Ethel died in November 1997. Did you know her?

Re: Anthony Muraca - New York

Saw you posting in RootsWeb. Is your Aunt Ethel still in Utica?

I am trying to locate information on my maternal grandfather, Anthony Muraca, who died (in 1947) before I was born. He resided in the Utica, New York area.
