I have been a researcher of family tree for several surnames, if it hadn't been for persons sharing with me I wouldn't have all the data I have today to SHARE WITH OTHERS, I have never charged anyone. I't kinda like money, when you die you can't take it with you!! And how in the world would a person get anywhere if someone didn't share their family data? Come on folks, be GENEROUS!!
