This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------1DE29A8441E93D190D065319 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hey Everybody, This came from a McNair list I am on. I believe this is probably true, otherwise where do they get all of their info for their CDs for sale. I have not put my Burk ancestry out there yet. Everything I have looked up is always on a CD that you have to buy. I know they have some info but it's like buying a pig in a poke. If you check out a name and they say it is on such and such CD that is all you get to see so buy the CD! Just thought I would put my two cents in. Also thought some might be interested in this so am forwarding it to all. Hope everyone is doing good and having great success on your searching.
