Hello, LCranston. In my (humble) opinion, Julia Case and Myra Gormley are widely respected researchers, completely on the up-and-up. I also am a subscriber to their excellent newsletter "Missing Links." I am looking forward to reading "RootsWeb Review." Their message does say (2nd paragraph) that recipients' addresses came from RootsWeb or from "Missing Links." As to whether they erred in sending "RootsWeb Review" out without asking first, I reckon I reserve comment. But I'm glad to have it.
