Not to reflect on Fay or anyone else for that matter But you hit a key point Joyce """check, and then double check, what you glean from anyone's research"""" This is a key point as so many dont do their own research.. but go from website to site gathering info and then deeming it true. So many just take advantage of tryied and true hard copy research... And then modify it, as they cant get family members to fit in. Thus the line is now modified to the extent its not useable ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joyce H.

I too, like Fay, would like to thank all those who have donated their time and lives to help others. I don't see this as advertizement. I'm sure some of us do pay for sites, but putting their sites here, I don't see as advertizement for that company, only for the content on it. Sometimes people take things to literally. Chill out and let the rest of us enjoy getting to know folks as they put their data on this list. dianne wood coweta co, newnan ga __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

This is true whether you are talking about internet or other sources. I'm paying the price for some info I gathered back when I was a teenager just starting in genealogy. I picked up some of the books on old tidewater Virginia families published back in early 1900s and ASSUMED that these were experienced genealogists and knew what they were talking about. Now I've got all kinds of stuff on some of my lines that I don't have a clue whether is true or not. Internet hasn't changed anything other than make it faster to find stuff, good and bad.
