I see it more and more, and would rather it be not on rootsweb. >What does the admin say? >--Susan Hi, Susan Thanks for your question. The Message Board Admin says "The board rules are linked at the bottom of the Message Board and specifically state:" "Messages must NOT be posted that include: *** A commercial, fee for service. . . ***" <snip> The post has been removed from the board. The person who offered the work for a fee has apologized. I believe it was an oversight and hope it won't happen again. Yes, the board is for the free exchange of Fairfield County Genealogy information. As is the Fairfield Co. USGenWeb Project site. The posts must be non-commercial and specifically mention Fairfield County, a town in Fairfield County or a genealogy connection to the area. Happy New Year to all! I hope you all break down your genealogy brick walls this year. Regards, Maureen Mead Rootsweb Board Administrator, Fairfield Co., CT.
