I just thought I would mention that I sent what info I had to a distant (via internet) cousin and he sent to another. (we, as in the researching group of us had not to post it as yet) next thing know I find it posted on the internet with many of our inaccuracies which we were still trying to prove/disprove. Even one of my deceased aunt's was found to be living at the ripe old age of 92 and I got to meet her and love her to death. I was hurt because the sourcing made it obvious that it was my data and two things happened. The Good thing, I found my dear sweet 92 yr old via that posting - The Bad thing. It is still out there and none of us want to touch it. I also learned not to give the new cousins we are so excited to find too much information. Give them a little and see if they have a little to share back. (BE CAUTIOUS) They may not be related at all, sorry to say there are lots of dishonest people out there. I have always been a trusting and some call me naive but when it comes to my genealogy I say be very careful - not to mention if you give them everything you have, some take your informaiton, add it to theirs and forget to share which that's is what life is all about. I am off my soap now and want to tell you all how much I appreciate all the information shared by cousins known, unknown, and the fact is we are all related somewhere down the line because after the flood there was only one family to start creating all of us. Love to all my cousins out there in cyberspace.
