I agree with you Sue, research does take lots of time and money. I have done research since 1958 and have three different sites on Rootsweb WorldConnect Project, it's free to anyone who wants to use it. I did not spend all those years digging around to keep it locked up or from others. Genealogy has been fun for me not hard work, I have honored every query and given away my books with no charge to anyone. I have corresponded with many researches whom also have given freely with their work. I do know there are people out there who thinks genealogy is fun and free. This is not to make anyone mad but to let others out there know, to keep asking those queries who knows you may even get back to me some day and i may find a new cousin. Best Regards Wally Fly
