One of the biggest companies in the world that deems if you can't or won't pay their skyrocketing rates they can take your work off the Internet, period. I believe Rootsweb is still free, while owned by MyFamily - it is still free, and a small company on the larger scale of companies in general. > > But getting back to your claims, Mr. Adams would have a legitimate claim for copyright violation since his copyright was renewed in 1989 and therefore, would still be active.

Until, however, some proof is furnished that you did not take your information from Mr. Adams, I'll have to stick by Roger for copying Mr. Adams work that was illegally posted on your website to begin with. > > Concetta > Chicago, IL > > > > ==== ILOGLE Mailing List ==== > Visit the Ogle Co.
