Hello all - NOT FOR FURTHER LIST DISCUSSION PLEASE Please be careful in repeating messages from other lists. Check with us first before posting - for a variety of reasons: 1.Emails posted to the lists remain the copyright of the poster and rootsweb state that specific pemission needs to be obtained from the original poster before reproduction. 2.Don't take what you read elesewhere as gospel unless you can validate it. Do you believe everything you read in the paper? 3. Words like "fraud" and "scam" must be used with extreme caution. This could be libellous! Just because a firm is charging 3 times the official rate to obtain a certificate does not make the activity illegal or fraudulent. 4.Finally, what has been achieved is the unwitting promotion of a commercial site - again contrary to the rootsweb UAP Thanks Take care Linda & Tony
