The Company (Research- UK) was sold or so it seems to the following company. http://www.research-uk.co.uk/ The Police are aware of the problem and we were able to find on the Web the following information.... http://eogn.typepad.com/eastmans_online_genealogy/2005/03/another_genealo html Hope this helps those of you that may have been affected.

Hi Elaine and listees As far as I know this is an ongoing investigation and therefore comments for or against, good or bad, relating to any company or anyone connected to a company involved in the investigation are not a good idea. In my opinion it isnt a topic suitable for disussion on this list. Please keep any future discussion (responses) private and not post them through the list.
