Hi All, Have been looking at several sites that give USA phone numbers and addresses, the last being ‘familytreenow’ another has been ‘Intelius’, ( although I think the former used the latter), in which lists of possible relatives are given. My questions are:- 1) On what basis are those lists formed, ie same address or phone number at some time in their lives? 2) What is the best way to use those lists and/ or how do others use the lists? 3) How much certainty can I put on the data they contain, particularly were it cannot be found elsewhere? Regards Tony. Anthony John Mingay Member of the Guild of One Name Studies, 1985 (once of Kent & Suffolk now in NZ but still researching the surname MINGAY and its variants Worldwide.

Hi All, Many, many thanks to all of you who replied to my question which where gratefully received and duly noted the advice and comments. I am answering generally as there were so many replies, I hope those who did reply will not be offended if the do not receive a personal contact. It is as suspected the list (in 'familytreenow' ) is a mixture of fact and conjecture plus many errors and hence should be used with the utmost caution. However it does give clues upon which to base further research, again as I have found with every other similar 'lists', and all content viewed with the 'must double check' attitude as one does with all other information (or should do, I must try and follow my own advice more often). On the positive side I have 'dug' up some 'gems' based on the clues contained with in the 'detail' pages hence I will be 'shifting ' through trying to find more. Regards Tony.
