My question. Does this mean that we have to give up this site? I don't think this is an unreasonable question. Ruth: this question has nothing at all to do with Jerry Quinns site or the wonderful job that he has done. I am on My Family.com for about 5 or 6 families and I do not like it. Why? It is my understanding that this is set up for a designated family, to be able to participate you must have a password. I hate having to remember a password for all of these different families so there fore I don't participate much. You can be notified if a new message has been posted to the list but every time you want to add something or read the messages you will have to go on the net and wait for the address to come up and then sift through the stuff to find what you want. Also if you are not careful you will be bombarded with commercial stuff, contests and letters wanting you to buy stuff or you will get a notice everytime someone on the list or their children, or children's children have a birthday, aniversery etc and so on ,saying, so in so is celebrating their birthday wouldn't you like to buy them a $300 digital camera to commerate the ocassion. Well cousins, nothing would please me more than to commerate all of your specials days but I just can't afford it. This site would also mean that no new cousins can find us unless they receive a special invitation and password. In the 5 or so families that I have joined I have found very little genealogy help and lots of chatter and interest seems to wane after a while. I can see where this may be good for a big immediate family. Maybe, I have this all wrong, some people think it is easy and great, but this has been my experience. NOW, if this is what you want, I will join the new list with the rest of you as I do enjoy my contact with you and I would miss contact with all the KORNEGAY Cousins, we are like a family and I have gotton use to all of the people and personalities. But I feel that you need to know how this operates and I fear us getting too scattered and not being able to work together like we have in the past. The best advantage I can see is having a place to put pictures. I hope you won't consider me a spoil sport but I just had to say how I feel. Pat Hoffman
