We have recently had a rash of postings re collecting gedcoms on the KFA email list. Though the initial intent I'm sure was innocent, most people no longer trust sending their gedcoms to an unknown source ... we've seen our work pop up on too many sites we had no desire for them to be. This list is for those seeking their Kemp ancestors. Should 2 people connect with a common ancestor, then of course trading info is appropriate. I would like to request that further discussion on the mass collecting of gedcoms cease and that we consider this topic closed. While I'm at it, would like to say that every once in awhile we receive ads posted on this list. Rootsweb tries to prevent them from appearing (You have no idea how many you don't see ... but as Owner of the List I see them), but sometimes hackers slip them by us. Sorry.
