Hi Barbara, I had no intention of blaming the Ancestor Fair for anything. As for the lady who passed away, who did the books, I know who you're talking about, and I had a heated conversation with her, when I found MY Cemetery survey information in HER book, and she took all the credit for it. I researched that cemetery, 585 listed/marked graves, in 103 degree temps, and did not appreciate her using my information, without my permission, and not giving me any credit for it, and selling the books for profit to boot. She did admit that it was my survey data that she'd used. No, no one made me buy anything, but when you can't get the information anywhere else, and the cemetery books are available, then yes, you buy them. I was told that the books I purchased contained the info on ALL Searcy County cemeteries, and they don't. THAT was my complaint.
