Is this your story?: Your mother is now into genealogy research. You posted on Genealogy.com/Family Tree Maker an illegitimate sister of yours born in 1954 which you hadn't mentioned you found to your mother thinking your mother would probably never be buying genealogy CDs let alone get on the internet. Your mother buys the CD from Genealogy.com/Family Tree Maker. The sister is on the CD and your mother didn't know about her. It really hurt her. She didn't want to know about it. And, that information going out on a public venue could have waited til your mother was gone. If this is your story, you wouldn't feel too good about what you might have stopped especially during your mother's lifetime or maybe your cold heart doesn't give a hoot. Your ego would rather see your line in "lights." Or, some reason like, well, it is the fact, it should go in the family history NOW. Genealogy.com/Family Tree Maker is in this business to make money. If you have a page at Genealogy.com/Family Tree Maker or out on a site, they are selling it, even if it is your guess, incorrect or hurtful. Someone else gave one of my lines to their commercial adventure. That person will never get another piece of information from me. And, now, I only give out lines before 1900. Anyone can do with that information what they wish, whether the information is correct, theory, or whatever. I wrote to the vultures. Like the majority of us researchers, I don't have enough money to "go after" a corporation. Hurting people is not a fun part of genealogy. Good luck with your research.
