This is not starting again! This person has committed fraud to many of your fellow genealogists. Withe her Professional genealogist class charging $50.00 per month times 12 months. Posing as an accredited genealogist, changing URLs, e-mail addresses, using AKAs i supposed to people is fine as long as she answers your needs. Does she? Her trip to Ireland was a scam. That has been reported to the board also. Why is she incognito, hiding and not really public. People bewar. Stop defending this person. She has been reported to the National Internet Fraud Board for her illegal activities. All this and everyone still supports her. What a bunch of gullible people! Report anything at all that even gives the smallest hint of fraud or scam. This is not the only area on the internet that this person has been active. She is being investigated elsewhere If you are suspicious or thik that someone on-line is possibly committing fraud or a scam please go to the page to report: http://www.fraud.org/ Thanks On Fri, 22 May 1998 18:57:21 -0700 "Charles Ostrander" <chic@ewol.com> writes: >Pleaseeeee.
