G'Day To me this looks like an advert from a pro researcher trying to gain info for their Pay for lookup Australian Indexes website or for a planned book they are going to publish and gain financially from. Especially as these messages have appeared over a number of email lists. As I understand it this is a breach of Rootsweb's Acceptable Use Policy for these email lists. I for one, am a little tired of pro researchers, historian bookwriters and newbie cousin researchers using experienced amateur family historian researchers and their accumulated research info that has taken years and great deals of money to compile shared as a courtesy put in someone book who didn't do the research. Often with little or no acknowledgement of where they got it from. A number of cousins researchers and my own work has been used in Books by others who did not find the information by themselves yet it would appear so looking at the book, website etc they have published. Of course their was no acknowledgement of where the info came from. This in many cases makes the info useless to the new researcher that reads it because they cannot find where the original source records/oral history has come from because the writer of the book/website was not the person who researched the info. My recommendation to researchers with indexes and/or compiled research is you publish your own efforts and Sue the pants off anyone who than uses your research and publishes it as their own without your consent for exactly that. Sharing info does not mean you have given permission for them to publish it without your consent. This has been an ongoing problem in family history circles for a long time and many very experienced researchers no longer share with others anymore because of the publishing issue having happened to them. This is a great loss to the majority of family history researchers from knowledgable researchers but has become common, especially on these email lists. With the American style lawsuit starting to appear in our court system it wont be long before hopefully this practice of Plagerism ceases. It is very hard for Pro researchers to be on these Rootsweb lists without using them for commercial gain. Researchers take care with your work. If you give it to another person they may then think it is now theirs and give you nothing in return. Not even an acknowledgement for your efforts. This is my personnel opinion only and I am just suggesting extreme caution with messages like these and with sharing all your research with others before you really know whom your sharing with. regards Michael Cheeseman Researching my family since 1979. -----Original Message----- From: Judy Webster [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, 2 February 2003 7:41 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [AUS-WA] Have you compiled an index?

Dear Mr. Cheeseman, I apologize if I have offended you or the list. I don't believe that I have *spammed* this or any other lists. I did not subscribe to this list for this purpose and I have been subscribed for many months. I have enjoyed, and will continue to enjoy, reading about reunions of schools and military units, among others. I find the postings, both genelogical and non-genealogical, very good reading. I have posted only a very few notices of the new list and only on lists where I have been a long term subscriber and I have reason to believe that there may be a purpose, both for posting and being a subscriber. I have found family members in Australia, New Zealand, the Falklands, Scotland, England, France, Angola, the United States and, in one case, six miles from my home. I have found help unlooked for from many people and many places including Australia. I am thankful for that.

Hi Kerry, Oh dear - wrong lady. Thanks ever so much for replying, but unfortunately my Jane(t) married a Robert Rowe in South Australia and was the daughter of an INGLIS. She had an interesting name - Janet Rewa INGLIS (then ROWE). The Rewa came from Fiji where her parents had been living. I actually can't find either Robert or Janet anywhere, although I admit to not having looked in the more difficult places - eg Queensland. I think Robert was a publican. Would have been good to be able to share information, but never mind.
