I have to agree with Cindy as to the CD's. People think they are contributing when they send information to these "CD people", but in reality they are just making money for those people. So much of the information I have looked at is completely wrong anyway, which just perpetuates errors. I am working on a book and I am sure there will be some people that I will not have permission from, but...... a genealogy book will not be as widely distributed as the web and CD's. My book will have a limited printing and will be purchased most likely by the people who know about my project and have contributed. Thanks for the time. Edie
