It is her right and privilege to want to protect her work. The book she compiled is awesome and I would recommend it to everyone who has Fitzwater’s in their ancestry not only for their own enjoyment, but for generations to come. It is worth every penny and more! I just happen to think that the more information people have-the more information they want. At least that is my way of thinking. A lot of the information that was on my GEDCOM was from another Fitzwater cousin that had compiled a great deal of data. I copied it with their permission, but I do not know where they got the information. Perhaps it was from the 1992 edition of “Fitzwater’s in America”, I don’t know- so rather than cause anyone a problem- I removed the information from WORLD CONNECT. I want an official record for my children and grandc! hildren. That is why I purchased the book and am very grateful for what this author has done. She is without a doubt THE MOST knowledgeable person on the Fitzwater family. This will be my last word on the subject. Let’s get back to real research and fun with genealogy!!
