It is just common courtesy to give credit where credit is due. I corresponded with a lady recently who told me about someone downloading all of her work and claiming it as her very own. If you submit your family files to RootsWeb, you can secure what you do not want other people to have - I think this is notes, sources, etc.- but Ancestry.com does not have this feature. I have shared info. directly with some people who have given me credit for what I sent to them which I appreciated. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lisa Coultrup" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, August 01, 2005 7:35 AM Subject: Re: [ALGREENE] List Activity > Hi > Well, in my University classes where I majored in Anthropology, we had to > write enormous amounts of papers, and proper citation format ( depending on > which is used, such MLA etc) is to always cite your sources.
