I agreed with almost everything you all said. Genealogy, just like anything else, is mostly nice people with just a few bad apples! I say, share as much as you can, because even contacts you think will help THEM more than they help YOU may come back to you in surprising (and very helpful) ways...you never know! ANgela, who believes that someone, somewhere knows where and when her g-g-grandfather Christopher Thompson died after disappearing from all known records in 1873 but still referred to as alive (supposedly) until the 1890s...
