I received an 'invite' today as well.... smells like SPAM to me.... I don't know Mr Spencer nor do I have any Spencers in my family tree. I also checked out the Genoom site - seems like it originated in Spain? I wasn't allowed to view the home page as I don't use Explorer or Firefox as web browsers.... if they can't write html for anything other than Explorer... I ain't interested. I would caution against replying to any address that comes in unsolicited. If it is SPAM and you reply, they know it's a good address and will send more or sell it on to others. May all SPAMMERS rot in hell! Cheers! Rob On 1-Aug-07, at 2:55 PM, R.

Leslie, I did a Google on Genoom and found this discussion going on: http://mashable.com/2007/07/16/genoom/ It's not one I've heard of before, but then it's the internet and there's a whole lot out there I haven't heard of! I like http://blacksheep.rootsweb.com/ when I'm in doubt. I have emailed this Jeff and he has answered. It's taken a while, like maybe a week or a bit more, but he has answered. Perhaps someone submitted your address to the site or perhaps they've gotten it thru mailing lists. As long as it's visible online some place, it's there for most anyone to take.

Either he must have joined the list and sent the message, or the list administrator forwarded the message on to the list--no other possible way for the message to go out to the entire list.

I read the "ethics" article you suggested and I could have written it...I was searching a living sister-in-law for some business info and found her listed on a genealogy site...when I went to the site I found my whole living family, siblings, nieces, nephews and even cousin information..I contacted the owner of the site and he said he could not remember where he got the info and would try to figure out how to remove or hide my information (note that he did not have such detailed information for other families) I contacted him again asking for removal and he did not answer. I belong to ancestry.com and was doing a relative search and guess what!!! there was my family information again submitted by this same man- Ancestry says they will not print any information on living people- based on an age of 90 years- well this man has my family all listed by name but no dates- so of course ancestry assumes we are dead and has the information all there... I wrote to this man again and no response...I have since found the cousin who shared our family information with someone else who gave it to this man. She is very sorry but that does not help me much.. I am very concerned for my family security because one of the big security questions asked is "mother's maiden name" and everyone can check that out for my whole family Does anyone have any suggestions on how to remove this information? I have offered to remove it myself if he just gives me editor status....he has not responded to my last several emails.... My suggestion to everyone in this day of identity theft is to exclude any & all information on living relatives. chris hunt > [Original Message] > From: Pam Tessier <pamtessier@sympatico.ca> > To: Simcoe List <can-ont-simcoe@rootsweb.com> > Date: 8/1/2007 8:32:58 AM > Subject: [CAN-ONT-SIMCOE] News items > > Listers, > > If you subscribe to various newsletters, as I and many others do, you > get a perspective on genealogy and all its facets that you cannot find > elsewhere.

Listers, If you subscribe to various newsletters, as I and many others do, you get a perspective on genealogy and all its facets that you cannot find elsewhere. I subscribe to Canadian and American newsletters just to keep up with new happenings and to find out what in the world is going on. This mornings email brought two excellent articles I hope you will find interesting and informative. Today's issue of Eastmans' Geneaolgy Newsletter has an excellent article on copyright and ethics - Ethics in Publishing Family Histories. Take a look at: http://blog.eogn.com/eastmans_online_genealogy/ The National Genealogy Society of the United States is undergoing an organizational upheaval at this time. This article, in my opinion, can apply to both Canadian and American societies, organizations and even small facilities such as ours. Good words to heed!

UpFront with NGS The Online Newsletter of the National Genealogical Society Volume 7, Number 8-1 August 2007 What Kind of Society Member are You? by Chuck Mason, CG If you are on any major e-mail list, I am sure you have read about the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society's recent proposal to eliminate their members' right to vote on society elections and other issues. The board of directors would make all decisions, including who would serve on the board in the future. [Editor's note: This proposal became a reality at the NYG&B July 19 meeting.] As you can imagine, this has stirred up a lot of controversy. It also prompts me to ask the question, "What kind of society member are you?" Many of us join societies where we live and also ones in an area where our ancestor's live. We join a local society because they usually offer educational opportunities in the form of programs, educational classes, and seminars. They also may have a research facility that we use for our research. We join a society where our ancestor's lived because they have something that we want to use for our research. It may be their newsletter or journal, their library; research services for members, or another service that will be helpful to our long distance research needs, like online databases. We may have an opportunity to visit their library, but more likely, we are looking for what services we can use from our own homes. Regardless of whether you are a member of a local society or one in another area, almost all societies depend on volunteers to do most of the work. Some societies do have some paid staff members, like NGS does, but it is normally the volunteers that perform the majority of the work. As a ten-year plus volunteer at NGS, I know that it would be impossible for the staff to do all the work the volunteers do. If we were to pay the staff to do all the work the volunteers do, we would need a lot more staff, and dues would probably be several hundred dollars a year. On the other hand, the staff we have has been a great group of people to work with and very supportive of the volunteers. The work done by volunteers varies greatly from one society to another. However, there are some common things each society needs, and here is where you can do your part. Support the society by volunteering some of your time. We cannot all volunteer as much time as the most active volunteers, but there is usually something that each of us can do to help support the societies we join. I know that I am more of an exception, and I probably volunteer more time than the average person. Because of the many volunteer jobs I have held recently, I have a few suggestions for you to be a better society member. Many societies do surveys or ask their members for suggestions for programs, activities, classes, etc. Fill out the survey or express your suggestions. If you do not let your wishes be known, you do not have a right to complain about the activities of the society. You may not be able to serve as an officer or committee chair, but often there are small jobs that you can do to support your society leaders. Does your society meet in a place that needs the chairs and other equipment set up or taken down for meeting? Is your society working on a project that you could assist with on your own time at home, like an indexing project? Does the newsletter editor need assistance with getting the newsletter mailed out? My list of suggestions could go on for many pages. Certainly there is some job that you could assist with that would help lighten the load for the leaders. One of my pet gripes as a society volunteer has to do with the selection of society leaders.

No McPHEE listings at all in the Coldwater Cemetery listing (published by the Simcoe County Branch of the OGS). Cemetery is in the village of Coldwater itself - not very difficult to find. No McPHEE in the Waubaushene Protestant or Catholic cemetery database on the Penetanguishene Centennial Museum & Archives website (www.pencenmuseum.com) This cemetery (Protestant & Catholic are on the same grounds - side by side) is also very easy to find, right outside the village of Waubashene, right on highway 12.

My mother grew up not far from Beeton, in fact, she went to school there. There are a number of small cem. in the area, around Bond Head, & Newton Robinson-just minutes from Beetown. He probably d. in Simcoe Manor, a nursing home., where many from this area reside, and which is still in existence. Suggest you search GOOGLE FOR beeton, AND CONTACT EITHER THE CHURCH, THE NEWSPAPER,OR SIMCOE MANOR. This search gives you their phone numbers.
