True Joe but here is one for you.. alot of places list old books as "sourse" Then a guy spends a arm and a leg to procure the long out of print book Only to find NOTHING related to what was quoted. This is the reason I speak as I do.. To to many take a internet line... listed with source and its cut and dry. Well Its not.. Internet will give general clues indeed.. But the trouble is with all the internet sites accepting "files" It soon dont take much to get the whole line out of kelter. Example.. anyone can upload a say GED files or another type.. say to some genealogy site.... they inturn SELL the info on CD,s.. Peole getting CD,s think the info is right My statement applies to all places that sell "internet genealogy" ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joe Harrington" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, November 03, 2003 3:25 PM Subject: RE: [COUCH] Phoebe Couch/Isaac Lewis-Elihue Couch/Mary Ann Burns > This is true whether you are talking about internet or other sources.
