Thanks to all, each and every one of you, of the more than 100 replies I received to my query about Genealogy Techs. I received not ONE positive reply, only negative warnings, and some rather specific notes on the perpetrator of this scam - even a copy of his indictment in Iowa for trying to run a similar scam up there. I knew there were some crooks out there but had no idea of the extent. Be very, very careful before you spend money on something that seems too good to be true - it usually is.
