I wrote them a nasty letter and told them just what I thought of them for appealing to us to enter our families to help others and maybe help ourselves to find our family, And then turn around and start charging for us to use our own information. I thought they would send my letter back to me but I haven't received it back yet. I told them that we researchers are getting wise to them now using our info for profit . And soon there would be know one donate any info for them to use. This is getting more and more the case and I have completely quite donating any info on my family trees. ----- Original Message ----- From: A.
