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.

I don't know who he is and wonder how he got my e-addy. Any info? Leslie

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.

Well, I got this email too, but I've never used this address anywhere. I'd sure like to know where they got my address from. Sharon --- "R.

Is he a member on this list? It's possible 'he' joined, gleaned a bunch of good address' and moved on... There should be a master list of members of this list... Muriel..?
