A couple of days ago I found some one listed a name I was interested in so sent a message and got a reply this morning...... Turned out this particular person was such a distant connection in the respondents trees of over 16,000 names that they had no info apart from the name and year dates Ho hum................ All I had found was collector of names . Bye MargM List Admin

>From my experience as a volunteer at the local FHA, I now find that people are not the slightest bit interested in research, only in having access to Ancestry where they can copy other people's Trees, regardless of whether they be correct or not. They only want to collect names and dates, and depart an hour later saying they have done their Family Tree. Such a shame when research can be so rewarding. Happy hunting Janet
