I'm with you. I have always shared what I had with others in hoping to get some of their information in return. I thought that was what it was all about. Everyone knows their own direct line better than collateral lines, and this was how I got information on collateral lines that matched up with mine. Ruby >> Goodmorning Ruby! I just get so aggrivated at seeing people trying to sell information that I know has been gleened from others hard work and money and then totry to sell information to whomever asks for information. If we didn't share we would soon reach a dead end. I will gladly buy a book that someone has labored over to transcribe into a Census book, marriage book or whatever....but it would not be fair for me to then sell those books for my gain. I am just sick of it.....LOL I haven't been unsubbed yet so maybe I shook some boots don't know. I had a screen full of emails yest from people cheering me on and not one negative one. Whew!! Blessings! Vivian
