Many people are using FAG as compared to the county sites because they can access a surname without visiting numerous sites.  FAG recently added a feature for which you can access entries in a county with the person's full name or just the surname.  Many that access FAG are not members of mail lists or gen/his socieites but are heavily involved with genealogy.

I have found some that they "stole" from my websites and after some "work" I had some of these removed from FAG. But, I just don't have the time to monitor it continually. Also there are the ads. I have also heard rumors that FAG may soon become a "pay for" site. This is just my opinion and does not reflect the thoughts and ideas of anyone else. I have a lot of cemetery photos on-line, from many sources over the last dozen years or so and there is also some genealogical data provided as well. The US photos and data are listed http://www.gillespieil.com/genealogy/ and the Illinois counties are divided by counties. Also they are my county pages for Perry and Washington Counties in Illinois with many cemeteries and other data. Then there is washignton DC and Mcnairy County, Tn. http://genealogytrails.com/ill/perry/ http://genealogytrails.com/ill/washington/ http://genealogytrails.com/washdc/ http://genealogytrails.com/tenn/mcnairy/ Too much, isn't it? About time to retire, maybe.
